While many dream of owning the perfect home, few take the unconventional route to make it happen. Will Breaux from Houston, Texas, wasn’t content with cookie-cutter designs or waiting for the right architect to understand his vision. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands and build his dream home entirely out of shipping containers.
Without any prior experience in construction, Will dove headfirst into a bold idea: transforming 11 used cargo containers into a modern, three-story residence. The result? A one-of-a-kind, 2,600-square-foot home on McGowen Street that stands out in both design and innovation.
By stacking and arranging the containers in a unique layout, Will created a sleek and functional structure with clean industrial lines and plenty of character. The home features a rooftop deck perfect for social gatherings or quiet evenings, while the ground floor offers a media room, bar, guest suite, and studio space. Every area has been thoughtfully designed to match Will’s style and personality.
Though the upper levels are still under development, the finished sections already show how much potential and creativity went into the build. More than just a place to live, this container home is a statement of vision, determination, and fearless thinking.
Will’s project proves that you don’t need a traditional background—or even a traditional blueprint—to build something amazing. When the right opportunity doesn’t come along, sometimes you just have to build it from the ground up—literally.
