Sustainable Shipping Container Homes and offices
Why not use shipping containers for something else?. Why not build a shelter, a canteen, office or house or even a whole neighborhood? We really don't know who were the first that had the idea of utilising shipping containers for accommodation, but what we do know is that Containercare can pretty much solve any storage or accommodation issue you may have.
Right now, being readily available, strong and secure, shipping container are ideal for office and workspace, live, work and worker housing.
Containers don't even have to look like containers! It is a relatively simple matter to completely clad the building externally in a huge variety of facades. The benefits of Container Homes or Offices can truly be seen in short and medium term land use projects. Short-life sites can have Container Houses or offices that simply unbolt and are relocated or stored when land is required again. To date this alternative method of construction has successfully created youth centers, classrooms, office space, changing rooms, canteens, artists studios, live / work space and retail space and much much more.
