container home

Repurposed freight dwelling

A container home is a dwelling constructed from repurposed shipping containers—the large steel boxes used to transport cargo on ships and trucks.

These structures appeal to people seeking affordable, sustainable, or unconventional housing.

Container homes range from simple single-unit dwellings to elaborate multi-container designs: They converted three shipping containers into a surprisingly spacious container home.
