The Brainchild of Passion and Vision

Aaron Schnepp, a resident of a serene Michigan town, dreamt of a home that was both sustainable and stylish. With a vision of repurposing materials and a passion for design, Schnepp turned to shipping containers, crafting a residence that soon became the talk of the town.

Using seven containers as the foundation, he embarked on a journey of architectural innovation.

Blending Old and New

From a distance, the house defies its origins. The exterior, a masterful combination of wood, metal, and stone, paints a picture of a modern yet earthy abode. The abundant use of wood and brick, complemented by the vast expanse of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, offers an inviting warmth.

Every detail, including the wooden window frames spanning the home’s spacious 2,350 sq ft, speaks of meticulous planning and an eye for beauty.

Upon entering, the interiors narrate a story of elegance and functionality. The dark brown wooden flooring seamlessly connects different spaces, guiding visitors from the entrance to a sleek bar adjacent to the kitchen. Dark wood paneling near the dining area not only adds to the ambiance but also provides a unique partition, distinguishing it from the rest of the living space.

One of the standout features is the kitchen. With a ceiling that wears its minimalism with pride, the exposed plumbing design is a nod to industrial aesthetics. The dark cabinets contrast beautifully with the pristine white granite countertops, mirroring the homeowner’s refined taste.

A Touch of Authenticity
