shipping container homes
Repurposed freight dwellings
Shipping container homes are dwellings constructed from repurposed steel cargo containers—the rectangular boxes used to transport goods on ships, trains, and trucks.
The containers serve as structural modules, stacked or joined to create living spaces.
Proponents tout them as sustainable, affordable, and quick to build, though critics note that extensive modification often negates cost savings: They converted three shipping containers into a surprisingly spacious home.
