Container Homes

Container homes are an innovative concept wherein a steel structure, ship structures, basically, is transformed into a living space. These huge containers which are as big as a single floor of a home are stacked and joined to make multiple storeys.Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as the main structural element. It is also referred to as cargotecture, a portmanteau of cargo with architecture, or "arkitainer".Since most container houses are smaller than the standard homes, less land is required to build a container home. The reduction of the building footprint means less usage of resources, hence good for the environment. There are millions of shipping containers which are not in use.
