Modern 2 Bedroom + Flex, 2 Bath Container Home Plans – 40x24, Three 40ft Containers 1 / 18

Three 40ft shipping containers, side by side, make a 24' x 40' home of 960 sq ft with two bedrooms, a flex room and two full baths. The Modern 40x24 keeps the whole right half open: an L-shaped kitchen with island seating, dining for four and a living room on sliding glass doors, with a small deck off the side. Bedrooms, baths, laundry and the flex room line up along the left and the back, so the living space stays uninterrupted.
