Hint: It's inspired by houses in murder mysteries.
I just discovered this prefab container house company from Canada. That's right, all these home models are made from metal shipping containers! They have six very impressive container home designs to choose from. The number in the model name tells you how many square feet the design has. For example, the ALP 320 is 320 square feet. You can find more photos and floor plans on their website, MEKAworld.com. All photo and image credits in this post go to MEKA World. The models and current prices (in USD) as of the day of this post are listed below... ALP 320 $45,000 SOL 480 $55,200 VOR 640 $73,600 THOR 960 $110,400 HELA 1280 $147,200 ALP 320 Exterior ALP 320 floor plan. ALP 320 Interior The ALP 320 shown above is a studio model (no separate bedroom). The SOL 480 and VOR 640 are both one bedroom models. The THOR 960 has two bedrooms, one up and one down. The HELA 1280 is a three bedroom unit with two bedrooms on the second floor and one on the first. The THOR and HELA both have two bathrooms, the ALP, SOL, and VOR have just one bathroom each. I love the fact that they show many of their completed designs with solar panels and rain barrels. THOR 960 VOR 640 HELA 1280 The MEKA World prefabricated shipping container homes are completely finished inside and out. They are wired, plumbed, and well insulated. Bathroom fixtures are installed, as are kitchen cabinets. I am not sure about kitchen appliances. I suspect the solar panels and rainwater catchment systems are extra. Floor plans for the HELA 1280 I will provide some interior photos and the company's website below. HELA 1280 Interior Bathroom. Note skylight over shower.
