Shipping container buildings are often seen as “too hot” but if this is the case why are we seeing more and more appearing in Tropical climates? Here we find an unusual shipping container office complex in Singapore. Although temporary they could quite happily sit there for the next 20 years completely functional. The shipping...
First thing is it isn’t a shipping container house but it could easily have been. Aleks Istanbullu Architects undertook this green small home which blends with its natural environment. I could see the cladding affect being used over shipping containers rather easily. The home itself maybe taller than most shipping container homes by design...
Podd have also caught onto the niche of container/modular housing and are producing these modern designed homes for use in Australia. The construction takes an estimated 5 hours on site which isn’t bad going and internally looks great. The roof is also hydralulic to save time. Initially designed to help boost moral for mining...
I came across a slideshow earlier today that shows how easy shipping container housing construction can be if its well thought out and the preparation is done properly in advance so wanted to share it with you. After all the planning is done the next important thing is marking out where the shipping containers...
This house was constructed and designed by Studio H:T and resides in Nederland, Colorado, USA. Its floor area is approx 1,517 square feet and to be honest the design they put together did get me first wondering if it was just a modular house until I seen the construction photos. The paneled walls make...
Melissa Rivera from Unleash Studio, is the designer of this little project. I found it extremely funny when I first seen it but I am sure a dog and owner would be extremely proud of owning one of these. This little shipping container seems to have all the mod cons a dog needs and...
Size doesn’t matter springs to mind in conversation but often it does in some strange way. Mainly because people don’t realise how much space they aren’t using or more importantly how much electric, cooling,heating they waste for floor space they don’t actually need. Here is the joke though this is the apartment I...
WA Design set otu to create a modern energy efficient office space that would blend in with its industrial neighbourhood. The three storey building is constructed using steel frames and timber. The new offices stand our and give a refreshing modern touch to the rather dated industrial area between Emeryville and Berkeley. Although brighter...
May seem a waste of energy at first but then again if this type of building is utilized for other buildings off it or back to the grid it may actually pay itself off over time for its generator use or payment from the grid. Portability is also something people overlook when thinking shipping...
Upcycle Living who are based in Phoenix are looking to bring the affordable budget shipping container housing to the mass market. They produced a 2 bedroom home at a green street fair in Phoenix and already the orders began to roll in. Although still not cheap at around $100,000 but demand and interest still...
I hear more people say they wouldn’t live in a Shipping Container Home than I hear do. But in reality what if you had no choice? Western society is used to being able to pick what they want since before I was born. Times are a changing however but at the same time people...
I’m a bit bias in this because I am used to hotel working as a contractor, being able to fit everything into a bag or a suitcase is normal and with container homes its also getting into the same realms. But then I start looking at projects around the home as my type of...
When I originally started looking at shipping container homes I was specifically looking at modular construction. As time has gone on more people seem to be developing much smaller homes using the same concept. I don’t think its down to just a tiny home movement but a sign of the times. In the last...
This practical and child friendly shipping container classroom by Tsai Design Studio was made for underprivileged children on the outskirts of Cape Town. Although limited in space to just 12 square meters the classroom gives teaching room for 25 children between the ages of 5 and 6. During the afternoon it serves as a...
Not a functional house as such and more about promoting “rooms” than a home yet each shipping container module does show what can be done with a bit of thought and obviously the Homebase range! The other positive side to this is obviously its brought shipping container housing to the main stream media without...
