Tiny Shipping Container Home with an Awesome Rooftop Deck

Casa Cúbica is a tiny shipping container home with a whole lot to love: a spacious rooftop deck, kitchenette, full bath and even laundry facilities. A nearly-identical design, the Lotus House, is available for rent at Costa Rica’s Casa Metta hotel and cooking school.
