10. The Industrial Chic Shipping Container Micro-Home
Channeling the popular architectural trend of cargo container homes, this micro-shelter is built using a reinforced steel frame designed to withstand the harshest winter weather. To prevent the steel from conducting the cold, the interior is lined with a thick layer of closed-cell spray foam insulation, followed by a stylish wood panel finish. The exterior is painted in bold, industrial colors with rust-resistant marine paint. A heavy duty, insulated glass door provides a clear view of the yard, making this the perfect sturdy, urban-chic winter retreat for a modern guard dog.
