The three-bedroom house of architect Bernard Morin and wife Joyce Labelle, which is made up of seven shipping containers, is shown in St. Adele, Quebec.

A Quebec architect and his wife have transformed seven old steel shipping containers into a contemporary architectural gem in Ste. Adele, Que., and are hoping now to build a business out the project.

The home is the first project of Joyce Labelle and Bernard Morin’s company Maison Idekit Home, and the first of its kind in Quebec.
