WHY A CONTAINER HOUSE
Ideal building material
Containers are well known for their durability, adaptability, light weight, low cost and ease of stacking, creating a recycling trend that we feed off.
If you insulate them properly, they can make a warm and comfortable house in winter and a cooler house in summer.
Since they are originally built for transport, they can be easily moved when needed.
When securely anchored, containers can withstand winds of up to 280 km/h. You can also be confident that your container home will remain standing during an earthquake. This makes them an extremely safe option for rain shelters.
Your imagination, your only limit
With a container home, you can get exactly the type of home you have in mind.
All you need is a container ship design and you can end up with a house that is exactly what you had in mind.
One of the main reasons architects and homeowners are increasingly turning to the idea of building with shipping containers is their ability to be quickly arranged in many different configurations. Shipping containers are like large Lego blocks, typically 40 feet long and with a floor area of 30 square meters per container. This means you can simply pick them up and arrange them, which also includes stacking them on top of each other.
