The GreenCreek Shipyard
From an idea on our parents back porch >>> to a beautiful 40 foot shipping container home!
The GreenCreek Shipyard
After all three of us siblings committed to the idea, the bare container was purchased from a local Spartanburg, SC company that sells and outfits containers. The container was dropped off in October 2020 and the first guests walked through the door in October 2021. It was a long, fun project and we hope you all love the finished product as much as we loved creating it for you!

To start the project, we googled shipping containers for sale in our area. Ultimately, we found this guy;) A bright orange, used, 40 foot shipping container. The business we bought it from, painted the exterior, cut out the windows, and dropped it off!
26 Foot Deck

Its a bit of an overkill but we love impractical things:) On top of the container is a 26 foot deck! Use it for sunbathing, yoga, or the perfect breakfast coffee sitting spot!
Glass Garage Door

Glass Garage Door
Tiny homes can feel small. We wanted to find a way to really open up the space. We took it quite literally and decided to add a fully insulated glass garage door. When open it creates a wonderful flow between the exterior and interior of the container.
