shipping container home
by Holden Garner
about my home
my home has various designs it has the shape of an E. the reasoning behind this was so I was able to use tuck under parking, witch can fit three cars. another reason for the design was so there was easy access to the rooms, its a very simple design.
AutoCAD
AutoCAD was what I used to experiment and change my design. it was the beginning steps for my home. I did the elevations as well as the floor plan. I planned where all the utilities/ rooms would go.
front veiw
another reason I chose this design was for where the windows were going to placed. every container has a good place for windows for a nice view.
bedroom
since the space is smaller for furniture I chose the bunk beds to conserve space. allowing room for a couch and a TV.
kitchen/ laundry room
I combined both of the rooms to save space, as well as having easy access to the rooms, with out having to move to a different container to use the utilities.
first design is sketchup
this picture was my first drawing in sketch up. I wanted to get a good idea of the plan if it was drawn out in a 3D form.
AutoCAD floor plan
these pictures are of my elevations, and final floor plans. I used AutoCAD before I started using sketch up.
