First 20 ft shipping container house in Sacramento, CA is currently being used full-time. Deer artwork hides a wall bed (Murphy bed) that stores vertically and drops down horizontally to create a large sleeping area. Several storage and space-saving hacks (for example a pole to hang clothes under the desk) make the tiny 20 ft shipping container home seem much larger despite its 165 square feet. Wooden celining beams and 11 windows help to transform the industrial shipping container from standard metal box to cozy tiny home. Convenient doors that open 180 degrees and full-height glass bring the light and air from outdoors in.
