FlopHouze

We've all seen Shipping Container homes, but how many of us can say we've actually stayed in one? Built from recycled shipping containers, these simply amazing, durable, iron boxes were once used to ship just about anything imaginable around the globe by land and sea.

Now, with a new lease on life, FLOPHOUZE has transformed these containers into unique, comfortable, cozy living spaces. Come Stay, you won't want to leave.

Each unit can accommodate 1-4 people. Houze I and Houze III offer a queen bed at one end and a full size couch at the other end of the 300 sq. foot space. Houze II offers two twin beds and club chairs. An efficient hollywood bathroom separates the space. The kitchenette features a sink, microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker for the morning get up an goes! The interiors are cladded with sustainably harvested wood from our farm in upstate New York and reclaimed lumber from a distillery in Kentucky. The windows were salvaged from a school in Philadelphia that was slated for demolition, and provide tons of natural light. On a playful note, we installed cabinet bases from an FDA laboratory in Brooklyn, and old bowling alley floors from Texas! Every detail has been carefully crafted to ensure that your stay is a memorable one.

Part of the property is shared by our sister companies, Recycling the Past, and our special events venue, Round Top Ballroom. Be sure to take a stroll around the property to check out all the salvaged artifacts and recycled treasures RTP has to offer! Chances are you’ll leave not only relaxed but with lots of inspiration!

The containers are also available for purchase! We can custom-build to fit your specifications, AND they can be shipped anywhere in the world. Also, all items within our containers are available for purchase with the exclusive link provided to you during your stay with us.

Flophouze is located on an old farm-to-market country road only 5 miles from the infamous Round Top Square. Be right up in the action with Round Top Antiques Fair, one of the largest and best antiques shows in the nation. Not bad for a Texas town with a population of 90. The original Round Top Antiques Fair is held twice per year, the first full weekend in October and again in April. Being in Round Top is almost like taking a step back in time when things were slower and life was a little simpler. When the fair is not in season, many antique stores stay open year round. Round Top is and always will be a breath of fresh air away from the busy city. It truly is a magical place
