Houses built from reused shipping containers have become popular in recent years because of their flexibility and low cost. One of the most obvious benefits is price. Modular buildings typically cost 50% less than a comparable traditional home, even when you factor in insulation and finishes. These buildings can also be assembled quickly; specialized teams deliver the modules ready for assembly, and the whole house can be installed in a matter of days.
The living containers are easy to transport and can be relocated without losing their structural quality, and the modular design offers creative freedom: modules can be arranged horizontally, vertically or even diagonally, with suspended elements, large windows and interior staircases. The manufacturing process also generates up to 80% less waste than traditional construction and the metal is fully recyclable. The separate metal structure of each module provides better acoustics and high durability. Housing containers are therefore an economical, fast and sustainable solution for modern housing.
