Designer Will Breaux turned his dream home into reality by building a house entirely out of shipping containers. Located on McGowen Street in Houston, his unique residence is made from 11 shipping containers, creating a three-story, 2,500 square foot home with a rooftop deck.
Breaux had envisioned building his own house since the early 2000s but struggled to find someone who could design the home he wanted. Eventually, he decided to take matters into his own hands. “I began looking at projects that were being built that I liked,” Breaux shared on his blog. After firing a design team that didn’t meet his expectations, he embarked on designing the house himself around 2011.
The idea of using shipping containers appealed to Breaux due to their strength, fireproof nature, durability, and hurricane resistance. Despite lacking professional building experience, he educated himself on container construction, creating a 3D sketch of his dream house. After countless hours of work, Breaux is now the proud owner of an extraordinary and fully furnished container home.

She captioned the photo, writing, “@barrypeele [heart]U, my life will never be the same without you.”
Barry’s cause of death is still unknown.

Christian stated, “It makes me very sad to tell you that our dear friend and colleague Barry Peele has passed away suddenly.”
“Barry was a devoted and knowledgeable representative of the company for an extended period. He will be known as a wonderful individual who loved to spend time with his closest friends—many of whom were also his clients—and who lived life to the fullest.
“A lot of you have worked directly beside him. He will undoubtedly be missed. Gary, I hope you’re at peace.
Barry initially gained notoriety in the real estate industry, but he was also a producer.
He worked on the film Rize (2005), which took home the Golden Kinnaree Award for Best Documentary.
In addition, he contributed to the 2008 film I Am Because We Are.
