Located in Hocking Hills, Ohio, is one of my favorite houses in the world, the Box Hop House. This house was built using three shipping containers and converting them into a home. The house is on 18.5 acres of shaded woods that blend in with the house colors beautifully. The house contains three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, and many other amenities. I have never personally been to the Box Hop House, but I’ve seen enough videos on it to get an idea of what it would be like to stay there. When I saw the house on video for the first time, I thought it was a dream. The staggered layout of the containers gives the house a unique yet beautiful aesthetic—no wonder this house isn’t available on Airbnb until September 2021. The Box Hop House is what initially got me into building homes from recycled/reused materials. Houses such as this inspire me not only to live differently but also to help towards a greener future. I may not build a house from shipping containers, but I’ll still attempt to think outside the box.
