Montgomery - Rogersville, Missouri - 3 Shipping Container Home

Montgomery - Rogersville, Missouri - 3 Shipping Container Home


On her 40-acre property, She lives in a 1,300-square-foot low maintenance home nestled in the woods above the river. A freestanding fireplace and modern sculptures adorn the interior while large windows offer a panorama of the outdoors.
Marti approached two Springfield architects to custom design her dream home in 2007, having collected house plans from the Internet for years. “My plan from the beginning was to make this house simple, inexpensive, and low maintenance,” she says. “It needed to do the least damage to the land and do the site justice. I wanted something unique but not out of place.”
The architects said building what she wanted would exceed her $150,000 budget by $30,000
The architects ordered four containers from Memphis: three for Marti’s house and one for an outside carport. Each container is 40 by 8 by 9 feet in volume.

Gelband and Loveman - Boulder, Colorado - Modern Container Home

Gelband and Loveman - Boulder, Colorado - Modern Container Home


They plan to turn the 53-foot-long shipping container and another one that will arrive in the spring into a contemporary home with extensive glass and a second-floor terrace. The home fits the unique dimensions of their lot, which otherwise would have required them to seek a variance to build a house with a usable second story.
Architect Mark Gerwing said it is the first home in Boulder to be built from shipping containers.

"This is repurposing," he said. "It's using existing materials to build A rendering of Boulder's first house made of re-purposed shipping containers. (Courtesy)
a house."

Balbina and Miquel Angel - Palma, Majorca, Spain - Holiday Container Home

Balbina and Miquel Angel - Palma, Majorca, Spain - Holiday Container Home

In a quiet street just five minutes away from the attractions of Palma, is the Container House. As the name suggests the house is made from shipping container modules, which makes this a really unusual place to stay. Don’t be fooled by the idea that a home made from container modules will be rustic, or that you’ll be in anyway slumming it; the container house is extremely modern, and impeccably designed. You can expect bright spacious rooms that really emphasise the containers’ clean lines, and striking colours that break up and add interest to the space.

Platoon, Kunsthalle - Berlin, Germany - 40 Shipping Container Cargotecture Building

Platoon, Kunsthalle - Berlin, Germany - 40 Shipping Container Cargotecture Building
8 trucks.
2 cranes.
And 40 cargo containers.
But what is it?
It is not an office.
It is not a gallery.
And it's definitely not a hotel.
Get ready for a place for inspiration and courage.
A playground for the city - right out of the box.

Max Living and Design - Chicago and Puerto Vallarta - 20 ft Shipping Container Home

Max Living and Design - Chicago and Puerto Vallarta - 20" Shipping Container Home

Our product is called M.E.S.H. or modular ecologically sustainable habitat designed for off-grid coastal use. We have taken the standard 20 foot iso shipping container and recycled it into a comfortable dwelling for up to four people, complete with kitchen, bathroom, storage and even a small pool.
The product deals with several issues that are becoming essential to our continued way of life, the first is access to fresh water, and the second is affordability of sustainable housing.

We are creating a habitat that not only filters water but also captures and stores it. Rainwater is collected in 55-gallon steel drums that can also act as the habitats foundation. The fresh water pool is the main source of non-potable water, and is recycled and filtered with very basic but effective and affordable slow sand filters, and ultraviolet light. This creates a respect for what the user puts into that pool as a microcosm of what we should keep in mind of our sewer systems.
