Shipping Container Building - Introduction

Hello everyone! 

In this post I would like to share my idea - building with using shipping containers. 

This could be very imaginative utilisation containers which are no longer fit for transport on the Sea but are still without damages. 

Shipping container homes and structures are increasingly becoming a thing in our generation thanks to the strength, durability, affordability and sustainability of the recyclable materials. They are almost readily available around the world and even cheaper near the ports. As people continue to venture into this new way of building, I look at some of the projects that have utilized shipping containers so far to create functional and comfortable spaces around the world.

In my view the building could be fit in many backgrounds, especially in sea scenery. It could occupies several floors in the business-residential development. There are a lot of big windows, and whole building is really openwork. Up on the roof, there is a place for take a rest with family and friends or it could be manage to amazing organic garden!

    Two shipping containers saddlebag a taller common space that connects local rock outcroppings to the expansive mountain ridge views. The containers house sleeping and work functions while the center space provides entry, dining, living and a loft above.

    Large glass walls provide cross light and ventilation to all areas, with large decks to expand the open living space outdoor, into the back and front yards. An external stair provides access to the green roof and deck.

    Shipping containers are designed to be lifted and stacked on cargo ships, plus they’re built to withstand the rough weather of international sea travel. Stacking shipping containers for sale is also commonly seen to create structures on land such as housing and shipping container offices.




    Warmest Regards,

      This is a good post with nice sources and sketches. Don't forget you need to add your sign off sheet to your blog as evidence of the project sign off we had and you need to expand on the research, show further development sketches and process on your project work now. Make sure you are working on this consistently between lessons.
