What comes to your mind when I say ‘shipping containers’? Probably goods, consignments, dockyards, and ships, right? Well, shipping containers are no longer used just for transporting cargo; you can actually live in one. No kidding! A creative design team from Dehradun came up with the idea for a Shipping Container Home. And we bet the pictures and details will blow your mind. Take a look.
A Shipping Container Home Designed Jointly By Two Design Studios
Studio Alternatives and Two Equals Design are two design studios that have created the exquisite décor for this Airbnb in Dehradun. Unlike other shipping containers, this one doesn’t feel cramped. The room is filled with natural light thanks to the large windows and glass doors. This lovely one-bedroom apartment features a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen space, all constructed from three shipping containers. It’s the perfect space for solo travellers, couples, or families with one or two kids.
Located in a prime location near the best cafes and restaurants in the city, this tiny home offers the perfect combination of eco-friendly lodging and designer living. This homestay offers a unique experience for tourists looking for charm, comfort, and sustainability, whether they are exploring Dehradun or organising day trips to neighbouring hill stations like Mussoorie.

A Thoughtfully Curated Tiny Home
This cosy yet functional home blends the appeal of tiny living with modern comforts. In the living area, you can relax on the plush couch while enjoying your favourite shows on the smart TV. The kitchen is completely furnished with a gas stove, electric induction hob, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and even a home espresso maker. Bread, butter, milk, tea, coffee, and other breakfast necessities are carefully prepared to get your day started.
The roomy bedroom has a comfortable queen-size floor bed and additional bedding for up to two children or one adult. The 8′ x 4′ bathroom is small but practical, with a shower area, a dry zone with a contemporary WC and a sleek vanity. You can enjoy a healthy mix of leisure and recreation here. Play traditional board games indoors or go outside to play archery and badminton in the garden. The homestay is tucked away in a calm, natural setting that is ideal for relaxing.
This home is ideal year-round, whether you’re seeking a monsoon retreat to watch the rain pour over the mountains, a summer escape to cool down, or a cosy winter getaway with loved ones. It’s also perfect for workcations or digital nomads looking for a peaceful environment to focus and unwind.
If you’re travelling to Dehradun, this shipping container home is an absolute must check-out.
