Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as structural element, because of their inherent strength, wide availability, and relatively low expenseContainer architecture is the hottest thing in building today. Easy to transport, environmentally friendly, reusable and recyclable, container buildings are the home of the future today. Our container homes combine efficiency, affordability, and flexibility into one eco-friendly home. They can range from a beach house, to a granny flat, to high spec home, to a low cost home, to a studio work room, the possibilities are endless. Shipping containers offer a huge structural strength. Designed to carry heavy loads, stacked in high columns. Resistant to harsh weather environments and salt corrosion. Built to last. They are supported by their own four corners, making their foundation sound and simple. Construction involves very little, labour and requires simple modification. Ideal for multi-story dwellings or office space, offering a large usable area in a small footprint. A container house can be built, on average, 50% faster than a comparably sized traditional house. A ready to fit structure will cost ZAR 5000-R7000 a squ meter. Their modular shape makes the design process quick and simple. Modular elements combine into larger structures, Units are well insulated with polyurethane to deliver optimal thermal efficiency. Bubbles are trapped inside polyurethane foam which makes for a poor heat conductor and provides excellent thermal resistance. Perhaps what makes these homes so attractive to many people are how green and eco-friendly they are. It takes more labour and energy to melt them down, than to repurpose them. Since these boxes are built to keep cargo safe, they have tight construction so there will be very little energy escaping out of them. Our container homes combine efficiency, affordability, and flexibility into one eco-friendly home.
