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.
