Container houses are a type of house that differs from traditional buildings with their more comfortable and useful features. It can be created as a single container or by combining several shipping containers to make different architectural structures.

Let’s talk about shipping containers in general…
I would like to talk about the houses built with shipping containers with 3 items,
1-) SAVING – Shipping container houses save labor and cost as they reduce the workload on site, unlike traditional structures.
2-) DURABILITY – Shipping containers are designed very robust to cope with the difficulties arising from many factors on ships. For this reason, shipping container houses, which are nicely anchored to the ground, have the ability to withstand external factors more than a normal house.
3-) SUSTAINABILITY – Turning an abandoned shipping container into a livable home is definitely a valuable and meaningful recycling example.
