Wiercinski-studio, an architecture and design studio based in Poland, has created a portable tiny home. But unlike most tiny homes currently available on the market, Wiercinski-studio’s isn’t a prefabricated unit built on a trailer. Instead, the tiny home is made out of defunct shipping containers, giving the large metal boxes a new life.

But as thousands of shipping containers remain backlogged at major ports and ocean carriers continue to struggle with sourcing the large metal boxes … ……

Backcountry Containers specializes in turning shipping containers into tiny homes on wheels. The Texas-based company got its start in 2016 when founder Jon Meier found interest in the tiny home lifestyle, prompting him to quit his job as an aeronautical engineer and start the company with the help of his wife, Kristen, according to Backcountry’s website. Its first official build was a blue 20-foot container home with a front porch and rooftop patio. The work on this blue home landed Backcountry Containers a segment on HGTV’s “Tiny House, Big Living” television show that featured the company’s then-latest red 40-foot shipping container home build for…

It’s not every day that you come across a 50-foot-tall treehouse made from old shipping containers. But the wow factor is exactly what Steve Taylor was going for when he built the property. “When I say I have a treehouse business, this doesn’t come to mind. People think it’s on a small scale,” Taylor told Insider. “But when I say it’s a two-bedroom, one-bath, with a 400-square-foot living room, a hot tub, and a full kitchen, it kind of catches people off guard.” Taylor, an engineer who lives in the small town of Ladonia in Texas, first started building treehouses…

The fact Jurgen Klopp’s team are so devastating, but also so flawed, is what makes them irresistible to watch. Van Dijk said ‘who cares?’ when asked if Liverpool deserved a Champions League…
