Designer Will Breaux constructed a whole house out of shipping containers, realizing his ideal home. His unusual home, which is situated on Houston’s McGowen Street, is a three-story, 2,500 square foot home with a rooftop deck constructed out of eleven shipping containers.
Since the early 2000s, Breaux had dreamed of building his own home, but he had trouble finding a designer who could create the kind of home he wanted. He ultimately made the decision to act alone. Breaux wrote on his blog, “I started looking at projects that were being built that I liked.” In or around 2011, he started designing the house alone after dismissing a design team that fell short of his standards.
Breaux was drawn to the concept of employing shipping containers because of its robustness, resilience to fire, longevity, and capacity to withstand hurricanes. He didn’t have any professional building experience, but he taught himself how to build a container home and drew a 3D model of the home he wanted. Breaux is the happy owner of an amazing, completely equipped container home after many hours of labor.
Why Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Weren’t at 2024 Met Gala
The 2024 Met Gala is a wrap, but let’s be real, it was missing some major players this time around. Like, where was Blake Lively, the ultimate Met Gala royalty? She and Ryan Reynolds ghosted the event for the second year straight, and fans are totally bummed about it.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ended up skipping their second Met Gala in a row. Instead of hitting the town for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” themed bash, Blake and Ryan opted for a cozy night in with their four kiddos. Family time over fancy parties—it’s hard to argue with that!
Lively sparked hope she could attend the Met Gala when she went to a Tiffany & Co. event in New York last week. Ultimately, she let that be her big fashion moment for early May.
Blake Lively has quite the Met Gala history, even poking fun at herself for perfectly coordinating with the carpet in previous years. Her last Met Gala appearance was in 2022, where she not only attended, but also co-chaired the event. Embracing the “Gilded Glamour” theme, she stunned in an Atelier Versace gown paired with her signature Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a tiara.
What sets Lively apart is that she styles herself, even for major events like the Met Gala. She explained that she enjoys the creativity and control it offers.
Fans were eagerly anticipating Blake Lively’s return to the 2024 Met Gala, hoping for her signature style and charisma to grace the event once again. However, when she didn’t make an appearance, disappointment swept through social media. “Blake Lively, where are you?” one fan questioned, echoing the sentiments of many who were eagerly awaiting her presence.
Another fan expressed their disappointment, saying, “pretending to not care Blake Lively isn’t there to save the night #MetGala.” It’s clear that Lively’s absence left a noticeable void for many attendees and followers of the event, underscoring her significant impact and presence at the Met Gala over the years.
