What are Shipping container homes?

"Shipping container homes are a great entry point into living in a tiny house. Shipping containers are rugged and durable, built to withstand 100+mile per hour winds, huge waves and long journeys on cargo ships.

What better hardy structure to live in than a shipping container home?

It’s no surprise why shipping container homes are popular. According to a Guardian report, the storage container homes market is expected to rise by 6.5% between 2019 and 2025."

"There is a hot new trend: shipping container homes. Basically, you modify, and re-purpose used shipping containers and stick them together to build a house!"

"Architects, designers, and builders have actually found a way to transform big boxes of steel into beautiful and fully functional homes.

"Modern shipping container homes are popular due to their versatility and affordability. Despite having a pre-made shape containers can be stacked in a lot of different ways to produce unusual forms for modern dwellings. Thanks to their low price (about 2,000 per container) they can be used to produce not only modern houses and retreats for less, but also used in construction of low-income housing."

"In the ever increasing desire that more and more people have to become more self-sufficient and environmentally friendly, homes are beginning to take a new turn for the greener. Shipping container homes utilize the leftover steel boxes used in oversea transportation. But now, instead of being dark spaces filled with objects, they are becoming beautifully architected homes and living quarters.

This trend began soon after 2000 after many people became aware of the increasing number of containers left abandoned on ports. Sold at incredibly low prices, they’re ideal for creating cost effective spaces and have the added benefit of using recycled material and eliminating waste. The typical box measures 20 to 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 1/2 feet tall."

"Shipping container homes are single- or multi-family residences that use new or used shipping containers as their primary material. The containers, built for holding cargo on transoceanic crossings, are made of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant steel. Because they’re designed to hold tons of cargo and be stacked one on top of another during long ocean voyages, shipping containers are extremely durable and weather- and water-resistant."
