Robust, Transportable, Shipping Container Homes

This vision started when we designed and created a two-bedroom unit project for clients. Through this process, we realised that with the right construction techniques and materials, shipping containers could be transformed into appealing, practical spaces. Owner builder Ryan Hyde completed a Cabinet Making Apprenticeship in 1997 and also has a Welding Cert, Steel Construction Cert, Carpentry Certs and a Cert 4 in Building and Construction. He has continually expanded skills and expertise across various areas over the years, completing full kitchen and bathroom renovations, shed construction, decks, patios, shipping container homes and more. Ryan also makes custom made timber furniture, with examples of work on the Ghost Wood Designs website.
