A company turns shipping containers into tiny one bedroom homes built on trailers for $98,500 — see inside

  • Alternative Living Spaces specializes in turning shipping containers into livable spaces, such as one-bedroom homes.
  • The standard 40-foot long shipping container home comes with a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen space starting at $98,500.
  • The Nevada-based company can also convert the containers into swimming pools, offices, and studio spaces, all at varying prices.

Nevada-based Alternative Living Spaces specializes in turning shipping containers into livable spaces, such as one-bedroom homes.

The company's ALT One Bedroom builds are created on 40-foot long by eight-foot wide by 9.5-foot tall shipping containers. And to make the homes mobile, the units are installed on 53-foot long by eight-foot wide by 3-foot tall trailers.

This gives the shipping container homes an RV certification, although its makers recommend using a delivery company to transport the roughly 27,000-pound home and trailer units.

Alternative Living Spaces' portfolio extends beyond just single-bedroom homes: the company also makes ALT Offices, ALT Studios, and ALT Pools, all with the same shipping container base.

The ALT One Bedroom is the most expensive conversion option with builds starting at $98,500. This price includes the standard living room, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, five-foot deck, and bedroom, as well as some finishes, insulation, and HVAC.

For those who want some more furnishing in the delivered product, Alternative Living Spaces also has a list of upgrade options that include a sofa Murphy bed, dual floating shelves in the living room, a washer and dryer, and a composting toilet. However, the company's tiny container homes aren't off-grid capable and therefore need to be attached to water, power, and sewage connection points.
