Converting shipping containers into habitable structures is becoming an increasingly prevalent practice in recent years, and we've seen them transformed into anything from one-of-a-kind housing, to invisible art galleries, swanky home offices, shops and even minimalist classrooms and food-producing mini-farms.
Coming in at 160 square feet (14.8 square metres), the True Studio by Oregon's Modern Dwellings is a modern tiny home that packs in a bed for two, a kitchen and a bathroom, and comes with an exterior clad with distinctive, dark-coloured metal or wood slats.
There are two entrances: the front porch entrance at one end, and a larger, brighter, glazed side entry door.
Similar to an actual studio apartment, The home's interior layout is open, with the main living/sleeping area overlapping that of the kitchen.
The kitchen itself is not too small: there's enough counter space around the sink, four-burner propane stove, and a small refrigerator. There is a small dining table and two seats right across from the wood butcher block-style kitchen counter.
The bathroom is the only closed room and contains a shower, sink, and an incinerating toilet.
In addition, the True Studio comes with a variety of standard features: R-30 insulation, dimmable lighting, lots of windows, modern fixtures, and a mini-split heating and air conditioning unit, with pricing starting at USD $55,000.
Though it can run off of a typical RV hook-up, the home can also use solar panels or even a Tesla Powerwall system at an extra cost. To find out more, visit Modern Dwellings and Instagram.
