Container modified houses, also known as container homes or shipping container houses, are dwellings made from repurposed shipping containers. These containers, typically made of steel, are often used for transporting goods via ships, trains, or trucks. However, their durable structure and standardized sizes make them suitable for conversion into living spaces.

Sustainability | Modularity | Improved Efficiency |
Repurposing shipping containers reduces waste and promotes environmental sustainability by giving new life to discarded materials. | Containers are inherently modular, allowing for easy expansion or relocation of the structure if needed. | Compared to traditional construction, building with containers can be faster since much of the fabrication work is done off-site. |
The process of modifing shipping containers involves several steps:
★ Design: We have professional staff to help you design the container house you want to renovate.
★ Preparation: The containers are thoroughly cleaned, and also be treated for rust and corrosion, depending on their condition.
★ Cutting and Framing: Openings for doors, windows, and other entry points are cut into the container walls. Additional framing may be added to support these modifications and to create interior partitions.
★ Insulation: Various materials like foam, fiberglass, or spray insulation can be used.
★ Utilities Installation: Plumbing, electrical wiring, and HVAC systems are installed to make the container habitable. This includes connecting to local water and power sources or installing alternative energy solutions like solar panels.
★ Interior Finishing: Walls, floors, and ceilings are finished with materials like drywall, wood paneling, or laminate flooring. Interior fixtures, cabinets, and other amenities are installed according to the design plan.
★ Exterior Finishing: The exterior of the container may be painted or clad with materials like wood, stucco, or metal siding for aesthetic appeal and weather protection.
