Most Influencial Shipping Container Hom
Most Influencial Shipping Container Hom
This resource has been designed to showcase and celebrate the momentum of the ISO Shipping
Container Home Movement around the World.
As ISBU based construction techniques continue to gain momentum around the World and edge
their way into more mainstream awareness we felt it was important to showcase and celebrate
some of the projects that have been competed over the past 10 years that have had a profound
impact and influence on this stream of Architecture and Design.
As the market continues to grow and expand we are starting to see new businesses and young
Designers enter the market bringing with them new ideas and enthusiasm, reinvigorating the
Shipping Container Home concept more than 20 years after its foundation. It’s fitting therefore
that this new generation have a resource that showcases the work of some of the early leaders
and risk takers, the owners and builders and designers that broke the ground and influenced
literally 1000’s to “think inside the box” as well as some of the more recent high profile projects.
As the World’s leading resource on the “How To” of Constructing Container Homes, we are in the
unique position of being able to not only bring together this material, but also to promote it to
the widest possible Global audience. I felt that creating this book would make an appropriate and
valuable additional resource for our readers, complementing our ever expanding training
materials and software.

An often quoted benefit of Container based construction is the ability to easily move the house at a later date,
however there are in reality few houses ( even in this line up ) that could be relocated practically, this house is as
close as it gets to relocation capability and remain a “real” house.

simple fact that in 2002 there where just a handful of people building with containers most projects where

The cabin was constructed in about a month without skilled construction labor under the architect’s instruction. The
Architect considered all the natural and man made elements already available in the setting and advised the owner to find
the reclaimed material to be used in the project. Materials used included timber strips from old bunkers and weapon boxes,
and used railway sleepers. The overall intent of the designer was to create a relaxing and enjoyable space by using already
available resources and the surrounding environment.
