The Vermont Villa stands out among shipping container homes. This unique house, built from stacked metal boxes, offers a spacious interior. It even includes its own pool and sauna.
Backcountry Containers designed the Vermont Villa. It sits in a rural part of Vermont. This home is more complex than typical tiny container houses. The main house uses three 20-foot (6-meter) containers and one 40-foot container. All were painted black and fitted with many windows and doors.
