Awesome! Canadian Woman Turns Shipping Containers into a Luxury Home

Admin September 12, 2026

Claudie Dubreuil lives in Quebec, Canada. She had always wanted a home of her own, so she found a construction company, bought four metal shipping containers, and began the conversion.

In just two weeks, builders designed and assembled the four containers, clad the exterior in pine boards, and the house began to take shape. Interior finishing proceeded in an orderly way as well.

Time to reveal the interior—here we go! The living room is finished in cool gray-and-white tones, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of light.

In the studio on the lower level, you can still see the industrial look of the container shell.

A spiral staircase connects the upper and lower floors.

The kitchen is also in cool tones—simple and elegant.

The bathroom walls are finished in wood, and the sink is stainless steel, giving a thoroughly modern feel.

Claudie styled the bedroom herself; colorful bedding creates a bright contrast against the cool palette of the room.

The bathtub faces a rooftop terrace garden—soaking in the tub while watching snow fall would be beautiful.

Claudie even installed a shower on the roof. She knows how to have fun!

This is what the finished house looks like. Without being told, few people would guess it was converted from shipping containers.

Would love to live here...
