It was freezing outside, but inside, a single fan heater kept the whole box warm. That was the idea. Nine years later, he and Janna sold their home, bought sixty acres next door, tore down the hundred-year-old farmhouse on it, and built a 4,000 square foot house out of six shipping containers. Fourteen steel columns. Nine massive beams. Containers cut down until one lost its entire floor. Three-inch white oak planks laid straight onto the steel. And a tile they tore out and replaced after it was already installed, because under all that natural light it read blue instead of gray.
