SF’s most revolutionary invention is The Yard, a vibrant shipping container village with an epic waterfront beer garden. You won’t believe it until you see 13 recycled conex boxes come together to form this fascinating mini-town complete with its own outdoor bar area. This one-of-a-kind spot will truly make your jaw drop in awe.
The Yard is home to the magnificent Anchor Brewing beer garden, serving 16 draft beers, some exclusive only to this location. Open from 11 am-9 pm (and likely earlier for day games!), it not only offers delectable treats from food trucks but also features drool-worthy dishes by The Whole Beast such as Wagyu beef burgers, lamb burgers, ribs, and brisket sandwiches topped off with two types of poutine! And if you’re a health buff in search of something light and nutritious? There are salads too plus Peet’s Coffee opening every morning at 7 am alongside North Face and SFMade storefronts all make up an absolutely stunning experience at The Yard.
Luke Iseman, an Oakland entrepreneur, is transforming shipping containers into budget-friendly housing. His living space may be only 160 square feet but it contains all of the basics: plumbing and electricity, a showerhead with built-in storage for his full-size bed, as well as a desk for entertainment purposes; complete with a video projector and remote-controlled drop-down movie screen!
Nick’s innovative creation was warmly received by the local community who were seeking economical housing. Currently, there are five shipping container homes in Oakland that offer rent for as low as $1,200 a month, an amount Nick can easily afford to stay in the Bay Area. On top of this bargain price tag, Nick is also fond of the privacy his container home provides without having roommates living with him.
In response to the soaring demand for inexpensive homes, Iseman created Boxouse, a startup turning shipping containers into tiny dwellings and selling them at only $8,000 each. Luke believes that if these box houses could be put anywhere; from public streets to driveways or even empty parking lots it would help curb homelessness and alleviate the Bay Area’s housing crisis. Unfortunately under current housing laws, this isn’t possible yet but there is one place where you can legally live in a shipping container home today. Boxouse is now striving to revolutionize the real estate market by offering containers as an efficient and affordable option for homeowners.

Tucked away in a secluded area of San Francisco, you’ll find The Box Shop – an awe-inspiring haven for artists and makers. This substantial workspace is packed with shipping containers that have been metamorphosed into the perfect creative escape. From individuals welding metal sheets to those crafting multi-hued LED strips, this place offers unlimited potential. What’s even more astonishing is within its walls, you can witness people sculpting art pieces larger than themselves.
The Box Shop is an 8,000-square-foot warehouse brimming with metalwork and industrial machinery. To further enhance the already vibrant space, 60 shipping containers are stacked outside in the yard, each rented to artists or art collectives as individual studios. This remarkable community of creative minds makes The Box Shop a truly one-of-a-kind place.
Artisans, including metalworkers, stone carvers, seamstresses, painters, and woodworkers to name a few have made The Box Shop their residence. In 2014 alone, they managed to transform shipping containers into glorious pieces of art with over 100 murals painted. Despite rising costs that led to many other Bay Area art spaces closing down in recent years. The Box Shop remains unshaken and open for business.
Shipping your container internationally? You will need a cargo-worthy container that has passed a survey inspection. Our network of IICL-certified inspectors can provide an independent survey inspection that ensures that your “shipper-owned container” is cargo worthy/seaworthy. They will provide a one-page inspection detailing any necessary repairs and will certify that your shipping container is structurally sound and good for international shipping .
They will apply a new CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) sticker showing that your container has passed. This sticker is good for 1 year. If your container needs repair, the certificate will be applied once the necessary repairs are made. For more information on shipping internationally Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping internationally
