40ft Shipping Containers Transformed Into Amazing Off-Grid Family Home

The roof pitch of one of the containers was slightly raised, giving it an ideal slope for the home’s solar panels and also allowing for a good amount of space for Matt and Ilse to construct a private sleeping loft. The loft is accessed via a set of stairs and is located above the dining area.

The home is completely off the grid, with a large solar system generating over 6kw of power at it’s peak each hour. The water is sourced from a bore on the property giving this family complete freedom from grid connection.
