News and insight
2025-09-22

Given limited land availability and purchasing power, constructing homes from shipping containers presents a highly suitable option. Container homes are affordable and readily accessible. In many regions, they have emerged as a noteworthy residential trend worth considering.

For enthusiasts passionate about minimalist spatial design, living in a space where all necessities are present without excess, container homes offer several distinct advantages. From affordable pricing and ideal form to low maintenance costs and durability. Before constructing a container home, professional design services are still required. Design services incur separate fees.

Containers also present challenges due to their narrow shape. However, by applying creativity in layout, eliminating unnecessary elements, and reinforcing the structure, beautiful housing can be achieved. Much like a tiny house, every corner, crevice, and piece of furniture serves a purpose. A table and sofa can transform into a spare bed, while a sofa can double as storage space. One advantage of owning a container home is its relatively low cost. Moreover, they boast sturdy construction and can be built on minimal foundations. For homes planned on steep or sloped sites, this is an effective and ideal solution.

Building container homes is highly eco-friendly with remarkably short construction cycles. Container homes are exceptionally durable, reportedly withstanding earthquakes, fires, and storms. With proper care and adherence to building codes during construction, this housing can last over 20 years.

Solar panel systems can be integrated into your container home. There's no need to worry about powering all the electronics and appliances requiring electricity. Additionally, to meet water needs, a 1000-liter built-in tank can be installed to capture rooftop rainwater runoff. This water can be used for flushing toilets and washing clothes, reducing water supply requirements by up to 45%.
