Turning A Cargo Container Into A High-Tech Home

Get space saving and de-cluttering ideas at the Cargotecture-Inspired Container Living feature designed by the Interior Design Association of WNY at the Buffalo Home Show. Come out and see this affordable and minimalist trend up close and be inspired by how large designers have made these small spaces feel.

This unique style of design is built partially or entirely from one or many of the estimated two million empty, recycled ISO shipping containers that sit idle at any given time. Making use of these otherwise vacant cargo containers is an environmentally-friendly way to create an original and inviting residential space.

Local professional interior designers from the Interior Design Association of WNY have re-imagined how a Buffalo city lot could be transformed by two distinct cargo containers: a 8'X40' container and a 8'X20' container. With the help of Sound & Theater, these containers will be given a high-tech twist. The overhauled cargo containers will host invisible speakers and none of the electronics will be exposed inside the display either - you'll have to see it to believe it!

The Buffalo Home Show continues at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center March 13-15, 2015. With home and garden celebrities, local professionals, and hundreds of experts ready to help you with your next home improvement project this is the home and garden event of the season.

Your Home is the Star of the Show at The Buffalo Home Show's 2014 “White Room Challenge!”

Our Buffalo Home Show is rolling out the red carpet for the “White Room Challenge” in 2014. This year, seven designers will use a Hollywood–themed poster to inspire the transformation of their own 12’ x 12’ room.

All the rooms will start as a blank, white canvas and will be transformed by the designer using mandatory elements including: a square metal cube table; metal flashing; 3 yards primed canvas; an overhead light; and their imagination!

Visitors will be able to walk through each room, discuss the room’s inspiration with the designer and then vote on their favorite interpretation of the Hollywood poster. Who will steal the spotlight this year? You’ll have to see for yourself! 

Below are a couple teaser photos from this year’s challenge, be sure to come by and see the full thing! 

 

Also incorporated in the “White Room Challenge” are a few different trendy hardwood floors installed by M P Caroll Hardwood, the Official Hardwood Flooring Sponsor of the Buffalo Home Show.
