Greetings from Portland! 🙂
At Container Home Hub, we’re excited to showcase the Hokura PDX, an elegant modern dwelling crafted from a shipping container.
Hokura, meaning “tiny shrine” in Japanese, is a fitting name for this container home. It beautifully showcases Oregon’s ingenuity and craftsmanship, featuring reclaimed wood details and a custom-designed Murphy bed that elevate the space.
The front stairs lead to a rooftop patio, an ideal spot for lounging and enjoying Oregon’s summer breeze. This clever design is a great example of how the Hokura PDX transforms its compact form into something extraordinary by maximizing existing features.
The expansive windows at the front enhance the spacious feel of the interior and seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. With the breathtaking Oregon scenery right outside, these windows ensure that not a single inch of the view is missed.
The dark wood siding is a striking choice that complements the home’s original stock paint, creating a designer feel. Unlike many container homes that leave the exterior raw, the Hokura PDX takes it a step further with its lighter wood trim, making the entrance truly stand out.
Designed for a low-impact, luxurious experience, this home doesn’t compromise on style or convenience. The dark hardwood floors perfectly mirror the exterior palette, creating a cohesive and visually harmonious space throughout.
The kitchen masterfully blends light and dark woods, with custom cabinetry adding a touch of elegance. The raw wood gives the space a rustic, Swiss sauna vibe, evoking the warmth of a cozy country cabin. The modern amenities include a sleek two-burner induction stove and a low-profile, drawer-style refrigerator, though it lacks a freezer or microwave.
The bedroom features a Queen-sized Tuft & Needle mattress, complemented by luxury linens, towels, pillows, and a thoughtful assortment of teas, coffee supplies, and snacks. The folding Murphy bed is both a space-saving solution and a charming nod to classic design.
The glass backsplash, which cleverly doubles as a small window, adds a unique modern design touch not often seen in container homes. It’s a great example of turning a functional element into a striking design feature.
The spacious bathroom stands out with its luxurious rain showerhead, radiant heated floors, and infrared sauna panels. While not intended to function as a full sauna, the panels contribute to an indulgent shower experience.
Guests can enjoy the charming backyard and rooftop deck, both perfect for relaxation. The home offers a warm welcome with refreshments and snacks, and its rural location opens up plenty of options for hiking and other outdoor adventures.

It’s worth noting that the property’s backyard is sometimes shared, and the owners often reside in their own home located at the front of the lot.
What do you think? Would you enjoy a stay at the Hokura PDX?
