Founded by Tony Lopez, Alternative Living Spaces was inspired by the need for affordable housing. The contemporary designs have been used for everything from permitted full-time dwellings to [Airbnb rentals](https://alternativelivingspaces.com/more/stay-in-a-unit/).

## The containers can be used as backyard spaces for guests and gyms.

Their [tiny homes](https://alternativelivingspaces.com/container-homes/) start at around $39,995 for a non-permitted dwelling. The RV Certified dwellings start at around $54,995. The homes range in size from 20 feet up to 40 feet in length. They can contain main floor bedrooms, kitchens, living spaces, bathrooms, and even rooftop decks.

## The interiors can include everything a traditional home has.

These great details can really be found in ALS’s more unusual designs. These include a desert yoga studio with a rooftop deck and a shipping container that holds an endless pool.

## Alternative Living Spaces builds also include yoga studios and pools encased in shipping containers.
