Designer Will Breaux turned his dream home into reality by building a house entirely out of shipping containers. Located on McGowen Street in Houston, his unique residence is made from 11 shipping containers, creating a three-story, 2,500 square foot home with a rooftop deck.

Breaux had envisioned building his own house since the early 2000s but struggled to find someone who could design the home he wanted. Eventually, he decided to take matters into his own hands. “I began looking at projects that were being built that I liked,” Breaux shared on his blog. After firing a design team that didn’t meet his expectations, he embarked on designing the house himself around 2011.
