Containers have evolved over the last decade from transporting goods over sea into architectural art. This home could easily be mistaken for a conventionally built home, but in fact it is mainly constructed using modified shipping containers.

The demand for container homes and other container buildings has recently increased dramatically. NightQuarter markets in Helensvale, Queensland, Australia is a great example of container modifications. Build solely from used shipping containers, the night market is home to 60 unique food and fashion vendors.

Recycled ChicWith ‘Industrial Style Architecture’ growing in popularity, shipping containers offer the uniqueness to any building.

QuickerShipping container buildings can be built mostly offsite, with the installation time being dramatically reduced. This can save on onsite building costs and a fast move in time.

SHIPPING CONTAINER BUILDINGSPROS

FlexibilityShipping container homes can be built on irregular sites that may not be suitable for conventional buildings. Shipping containers can also be staked upon one another, but council approval is always necessary.

Old containersAlways check the condition of the container before purchasing. Rust needs to be treated and older containers may contain hazardous chemicals in the paint and flooring.

ModificationsCutting homes in a container home is an obvious necessity, but must be done by a professional. Corten steel is a necessity as it wont deteriorate like ordinary steel, but takes a professional to weld with. The structural integrity of the container is always impacted by any cuts, so ensure an architect approves all plans before building commences.
