About this model
What you are reserving
The Short Stack is a smartly designed two-story home that maximizes living space while maintaining a compact building footprint. By building upward instead of outward, it provides additional room for families without requiring a large lot. Ideal for urban neighborhoods, infill developments, and customers looking to maximize value, the Short Stack delivers the comfort of a larger home in an efficient, modern design.
The Short Stack is a smart two-story home designed to create more usable living space while preserving a compact building footprint. At 480 square feet, it includes one bedroom and one full bathroom with living and sleeping areas arranged across two levels. Building upward makes this model especially well suited for narrow or smaller lots, urban neighborhoods, infill developments and properties where available ground space is limited. It is an appealing option for individuals, couples, first-time buyers and rental investors who want a distinctive home that uses its site efficiently. Constructed from three 20-foot shipping containers, the Short Stack is factory-built inside Custom Container Living’s climate-controlled manufacturing facility. Its vertical design combines modern architecture, durable steel construction and efficient space planning. Customers can select from available finishes and upgrades to personalize the home while maintaining its compact, recognizable form. The starting price represents the home’s standard factory-built configuration as described in the purchase specifications. Selected upgrades, state-specific code or weather packages, delivery, installation, foundation, site preparation, permits, utility connections, taxes and other site-related expenses are not included unless specifically stated. Final pricing and production requirements will be confirmed after CCL reviews the project location and completed selections.
Best for: Families, Narrow or small lots, Urban neighborhoods, Full-time living, First-Time homebuyers
