A layer of milkwood is preferred outside the house. The thinness of the wooden cladding and its placement horizontally gave the house a beautiful view. Congratulations to Jake Richards for this beautiful container house which he completed in 3 years on his own.
If you’re interested in container houses, “traditional architecture” will appeal less to you. With containers, you can be modern-looking, vintage-looking, or whatever you can imagine. Container houses can be as simple as a single cargo unit with doors and windows or can be enlarged with several containers for a larger area. You have hundreds of options with shipping containers. You can create multi-storey container houses, put them on wheels, add porches, glazed everywhere, or whatever matches your unique style with a container house!
Nowadays, especially in the last year, many people have had to change their lifestyle because of Covid-19.
That’s why people have started focusing on new and innovative home solutions. Container houses began to gain popularity in many countries during this period due to their easy purchase and sustainability.
There are more than 14 million out-of-service shipping containers in the world. Some of these are currently used to build housing, apartment complexes, student housing, shopping malls. According to a market report prepared by the Business Research Company, the United States dominates the container market with about 40% market share, followed by Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and South Africa.
Container houses can be built in two ways. Fixed or mobile. Each country has its own construction and zoning standards, which can sometimes be very complex. Regulations may include the type of structure to be used, the requirements for square feet, the minimum insulation materials required, and the steel frame requirements required if you are building a second floor. These houses can be built on your land or in a factory and transferred to the land.

The cost of container homes ranges from $ 25,000 to $ 300,000. You can also exceed the $ 300,000 level depending on the materials you use and the size of the house. Overall the cost per square foot is significantly lower than for traditional architecture.
Market Watch in Australia predicts that container houses will have a global compound annual growth rate of more than 6.5% over the next 5 years.
