The hottest trend in architecture is shipping container homes. Simple yet impressive, container homes can make your dreams come true!
Container houses are made of used shipping containers, that is why they offer a versatile and affordable alternative to traditional, brick and mortar houses.
All you need to do is to find a structurally sound, durable used container, then modify and repurpose it.
You can bring more than one container together to create roomy and functional living spaces. In fact, you can even build 2 or 3-store houses using only shipping containers.
There are various different container sizes: 20’, 40’ and 45’. Depending on your needs, you can choose the best size for you. In addition to their size, shipping containers also offer varying design options as well: You can get an open top shipping container or choose a HC (high ceiling) container to create spacious and stylish designs.
What Are Container Homes?
Simply put, container homes are unique and trendy housing alternatives created with used shipping containers. Being durable and uniform in shape, shipping containers allow engineers and architects to come up with unprecedented, modern and sleek container home designs.
Since container homes give a new life to used shipping containers, they offer an eco-friendly alternative to brick and mortar houses. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint while creating a living space that reflects your character, container homes are the best fit for you.
In addition to being green, container homes are also very durable. They can withstand extreme weather conditions and keep their structural integrity for a very long time. Moreover, you can add windows, sliding doors or insulation to create the best design for your needs.
You can prefer shipping container homes for residential houses or you can create comfortable and stylish on-site living spaces or office spaces for your employees. Shipping containers are also a good option for fair booths or businesses that desire to outshine their competitors. You can create attention grabbing shops, coffee shops, restaurants, food trucks and more with used shipping containers.
