Tour couple’s Colorado dream home made of shipping containers

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — After 10 years of blissful marriage, Regan and Libby Foster wanted to build their dream home.

Not brick, not frame, not logs.

“Shipping containers were always intriguing to me,” Regan Foster said.

Shipping containers have been steadily gaining popularity as an alternative building material for cabins and tiny homes.

The Fosters’ home is anything but tiny, made of nine 320 square-foot shipping containers. Set in place, along with other common areas built in, they make for a 4,000-square-foot domicile.

It’s so big, there’s even room for the mother-in-law.
