One Way Lease: Enabling Innovative Architecture with the Flagstaff Container House

We're excited to showcase how One Way Lease played a crucial role in bringing a unique architectural vision to life: the Flagstaff Container House in Arizona. This groundbreaking 2,000-square-foot home, completed in 2011, stands as the first shipping container home in the state, constructed using six recycled shipping containers.

One Way Lease: Providing the Foundation

One Way Lease was proud to supply the six recycled shipping containers that form the structural core of this innovative dwelling. Beyond simply providing the containers, One Way Lease also managed the complex logistics of transporting these containers to the Flagstaff site, ensuring they arrived safely and on schedule, ready for transformation.

About the Flagstaff Container House

The Flagstaff Container House is more than just a home; it's a testament to sustainable design and creative reuse. The two-story structure features:

• A spacious atrium living-dining room
• Two bedrooms and two bathrooms
• Two studio/offices
• A galley kitchen and plant solarium
• Five decks offering stunning views of the San Francisco Peaks and the surrounding cityscape.

Designed for comfort in all seasons, the home incorporates passive solar design and in-floor radiant heating for winter warmth, while natural mountain breezes provide cooling in the summer. It also features sustainable elements like solar electric power collection and rainwater/snowmelt harvesting.

A Sustainable Success Story

The Flagstaff Container House, a recipient of the Coconino County Sustainability Award, exemplifies how repurposed shipping containers can be transformed into beautiful, functional, and environmentally conscious living spaces. One Way Lease is honored to have contributed its expertise in container supply and logistics to this remarkable project.

This project demonstrates the potential of shipping containers in innovative construction, and One Way Lease is committed to supporting such endeavors by providing reliable container solutions and logistical support.
