2-Story Shipping Container Home with Rooftop Deck

This 2-story shipping container home with rooftop deck is a new, purpose-built modular residential structure combining a 40ft ground floor container and a 20ft second floor container on an elevated wooden deck platform, reaching an approximate total height of 18–20ft including the rooftop railing. The asymmetric stacked layout — 40ft below, 20ft above — creates an open rooftop deck over the rear half of the ground floor footprint, providing a 20ft × 8ft outdoor space at height without requiring additional land area. The corrugated steel exterior with exposed industrial accents and spiral staircase gives the structure a distinctive architectural profile suited to design-conscious residential, vacation rental, and off-grid applications. Important delivery note: At approximately 18–20ft total assembled height, this structure exceeds standard US road transport height limits of 13ft 6in in most states. Delivery method — whether as a pre-assembled unit or in components for on-site assembly — must be confirmed with Worldwide Container Solutions before ordering. Crane equipment will be required for final positioning regardless of delivery method. The ground floor is based on a 40ft container providing a full-length open-plan area configurable as a living room, kitchen, and dining space. Entry is via a glass-panelled steel door, and large dual-pane windows provide natural light and ventilation across the length of the floor. The second floor is based on a 20ft container providing approximately 160 sq ft of private enclosed space — suited to a bedroom, home office, or studio — with oversized windows and access to the rooftop deck and balcony. Access between floors is via an external spiral staircase — no internal staircase is included as standard. The 20ft × 8ft rooftop deck is finished with weather-resistant decking material and fitted with a full perimeter safety railing. It provides usable outdoor space at second-floor height for seating, garden plan
