WHAT WE ARE

Uncontained Living builds homes for people choosing a different kind of life — one rooted in freedom, simplicity, and a deeper connection to life and the Earth.

We specialize in custom container homes and RV/bus conversions, and off-grid builds crafted for those who want sustainable, off-grid structures that support the longevity of their family and community living outside of traditional, societal structures.

Every build is designed with intention, resilience, and the belief that home should feel like liberation — not limitation.

The ceiling features a mural of a person meditating in a lotus position with a glowing aura and intricate swirl patterns.

OUR STORY

Uncontained Living grew from a shared desire to live lighter on the Earth while living deeper in our own lives.

After decades in construction, we found ourselves drawn toward spaces that felt simple, strong, and grounded — structures that allow people to step away from the noise, reconnect to natural rhythms, and live in a way that supports health, spaciousness, and peace.

We renovated our own school bus, built a solar-powered container home, and experienced firsthand how transformative it is to wake with soft morning light, hear the wind instead of traffic, and feel our nervous systems settle into something more ancient and real.

That shift inspired our mission: to build off-grid and low-impact homes for people seeking freedom, sustainability, and connection.

MEET THE BUILDER — BUCK

Buck is the builder behind every project — a craftsman with over 30 years of construction experience, ranging from commercial renovations to custom residential and off-grid builds.

He brings the precision of a seasoned general contractor and the groundedness of someone who has lived off-grid himself. His work integrates durability, longevity, and what some may deem “unconventional,” creating structures that function beautifully and age gracefully.

Buck understands how a space should feel:

Inspirational, functional, and supportive to the needs and wants of family and community.

He builds with care, problem-solving instinct, and a respect for nature’s rhythm — making every space feel like a true home.

WHY LIVE UNCONTAINED

Because more people are realizing that conventional housing and traditional societal structures don’t always offer the freedom, health, or alignment they’re seeking.

Living uncontained means:

  • Green mountain with a winding road in front of it, circular logo style

    More freedom

    financial, physical, and lifestyle

  • Group of people holding hands in a circle

    More connection

    to land, light, family, and community

  • Eco-friendly recycling symbol with three arrows forming a circle around a leaf.

    More sustainability

    using repurposed materials when available, low-impact systems, and off-grid options

  • A logo featuring a heart shape with an electrocardiogram line and a circular arrow, symbolizing heart health and renewal.

    More health

    living in environments that support natural rhythms and calmer physiology

  • Stylized green and white compass rose emblem with geometric design
