00:00Grundy, hey, what's up? You made it.

00:04I did. You told me to look for the butterflies.

00:06It's hard to miss that mural, isn't it?

00:07I see it.

00:08Kind of a big container house. Come on in.

00:10You got it. I'm so excited. I can barely contain myself.

00:14The three-story home is built from end-of-life containers,

00:17cost-effective and less of a burden on the environment.

00:20They had fulfilled their purpose. They were done.

00:23They were destined for the scrapyard, and by building with them,

00:26I would like to think I've given them another hundred years of life.

00:29The interior's open floor plan is designed to display the Sheridan's vast art collection.

00:34Other walls show off the story and character of the shipping containers themselves.

00:38I'm loving that you've reused so much, but the whole house you reused.

00:43Yeah, they're shipping containers, right?

00:45So I said, hey, take this from the river and let's plop it down here,

00:48and I'll live in it with my wife.

00:50And, you know, these are end-of-life, so there's some dings, right?

00:53There's some bruises. There's some bumps.

00:55Think about our own lives.

00:56Those bruises and bumps throughout our lives create character.

00:59That's who we are. This is who this is.

01:01And you've got all this steel, but you'd expect it to be cold and feel like steel,

01:05but it feels warm like a home.

01:06There's some warmth to it. I think it's because of the wood floor.

01:09And all these mixed materials makes it feel less like a steel box.

01:12Right, and you've mentioned the floor. This is the original floor.

01:15Original floor. All we did was whitewash it and seal it a bit,

01:18but that's 3,000 square feet of flooring I didn't have to buy.

01:22Sexy.
