This shipping container house is located in Sri Lanka and has beautiful views of a the mountains and overlooks the lake it sits next to. The cabin was built in less than a month by a crew with no previous building experience that simply followed the instructions of Damith Prematikake, the architect for the project.

What’s great about this tiny house is that while the inside space is limited, the deck above makes the home have much more usable space without having to heat or cool it. The scenic views are of course an added bonus.

Shipping containers are an ideal option for people looking to downsize and live small since the structure itself is already built, there are plenty available and can usually be acquired for a small amount of money.

Here are some photos of the shipping container cabin. Enjoy.

With the exception of the container itself, the home was built completely from materials found on site including used timber strips reclaimed from old bunkers, weapons boxes and railway sleepers.
