We all have our dream houses. While some people are fonder of traditional homes, others are exploring new and inventive ways to create their perfect home.

Building houses out of shipping containers isn’t really new. However, it’s still amazing to see how human creativity manages to transform ugly metal boxes into wonderful homes.

One such conversion got a lot of attention on Facebook recently. A man shared the before and after pictures of the fantastic project he did.

The house is constructed among the green scenery in the Waikato region, New Zealand, and it’s already on sale. Check out the pictures; maybe you will be the next owner.

This wonderful home is built out of shipping containers

“Elevated with grandeur, on top of the north facing site of 6,221 square meters, the main home incorporates twelve shipping containers as part of its detailed construction and really does have an attractive commanding presence,” reads the house listing on Trade Me.

And it all started off like this:

The main house is built out of 12 shipping containers, and the residence also has a garage and a little cottage.

If you wonder how much would such an investment cost, Refresh Renovations says that a shipping container alone costs from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the condition.

“The main home incorporates twelve shipping containers as part of its detailed construction”

“Designed with an industrial scale and theme, the open plan living areas feature a high atrium that houses a significant and prominent staircase interlinking the second-storied living spaces. Natural light is prevalent throughout the dwelling that features individual living zones, up to six bedrooms, three toilets, three bathrooms, and polished concrete floors to complete the industrial theme,” the residence description reads.

The designers decided on industrial style

The residence also has a pool in the front yard

“The pool design provides an infinity effect from the large north deck, accessed by a glass automatic door of the largest proportion,” the dealers write.

The space inside is open and with a lot of natural light.

“Clever design elements through this space provide a view corridor all the way through the ground floor to the neighboring lake area contributing to the spatial grandeur. Intricate bespoke lighting, quality bathroom tiling and a wood burning fire are just a small fraction of the form and content on offer that only can be appreciated by viewing.”

According to the listing, there are up to 6 bedrooms in this home

The house also has three toilets and three bathrooms
