Container Guest House, by Jim Poteet
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Square Footage: 320
A mere 320 feet of space is not much to work with, that is, unless you’re creating minimalist guest house in your backyard. The private residence, constructed with the help of local Texas architect Jim Poteet, adds a touch of luxury to a recycled shipping container measuring a narrow 8 feet wide and 40 feet long. The foundation of the structure utilizes a bevy of recycled telephone poles, while the flooring and wallcovering feature repurposed bamboo. The roof of the navy-blue crate even offers garden space — making it more than just a space for storing tools and housing people passing through.
