Take one recycled blue shipping container, add: flooring, large windows, a wildflower-filled green roof, a composting toilet and some tastefully selected retro furnishings, and you’ve created one sweetly stylish guest house.

The reclaimed container was chosen for its bold blue color. Floors and wall paneling are made of renewable bamboo. The container sits atop a foundation of telephone poles.

The award-winning Container Guest House is the creation of Austin, TX based Poteet Architects.
