2. Nomad Living Guesthouse
6
This small and gorgeous guesthouse was built
using a 40-foot shipping container and features
320-square-feet of living space. It was built by
the Portugal-based Studio ArTe and is located in
eh picturesque Algarve region of Portugal. Not
much has been done to alter the basic shipping
container form, and the interior space is made up
of a living room, dining room, and bedroom. Only
the bathroom is separated off from the rest of
the interior space for privacy. The guesthouse
also features a large wooden deck, which extends
the total area of the home. This home doesnt
have a kitchen, which is a bit of an oversight
perhaps, though the occupants are welcome to use
an outdoor kitchen located just a few feet away.
