How poor we are really, Asians ? When we compare to Europeans, we Asians are poor. Don't compare with nomads life of African nations. Every one of us need a shelter to live safe in changing climatic conditions happen every turn of sun. A small home is a dream of a family. Many of us cannot afford it only due to the reason of financial problems. Now a good solution has found out by some architectures. Container Homes !
Container houses are not small. It uses many number of containers to make a big home.
Now Container homes are trendy. It can use as a portable home also. So rich fellows can also setup a small rest room in their farm yards. Some other uses are cycle or car sheds, use as cafe, bust waiting stop,
Shipping containers can be transformed into a variety of innovative homes and hotels.
Overpopulation, migration and mobility characterize life and living today. Natural catastrophes frequently leave thousands of people homeless; indeed the very idea of home is less constant and more fluid today than it was just a generation ago, and personal space is now a luxury, making us reflect on how much space we really need.
Container homes are a fast, green, economical and surprisingly flexible alternative to traditional houses as they provide modern dwellings for any household size – from individual to family and community housing. We take a look at five container dwellings that show how living in a steel box can be stylish and environmentally friendly.
Advantages of Container Homes
Container City, London
Developers Urban Space Management used a flexible, component-based container construction system to build this city in the London Docklands in 2001. The demand was so high for these homes made from 80% recycled materials that by 2002 they had built a second city right next to it. Rather than following the 1 container = 1 unit concept, architect Nicholas Lacey and partners and engineer Buro Happold used component pieces to create adaptable living and work spaces.

Advantages of Container Homes
- As one might expect, cost is a primary consideration and benefit of storage container homes. Typical homes of this type are significantly less expensive than their traditional stick-built, brick and mortar counterparts. The reason is simple: the basic materials required are merely the storage containers themselves, which can cost as little as $1,000 each for containers the size of an average room. Furthermore, homes built from storage containers do not require intricate foundations as do traditional homes. In some cases, they may not require a foundation at all.
- Needless to say, storage container homes offer a degree of strength and durability which is simply not possible with traditional stick built homes. In particular, storage containers made of steel are incredibly strong, as they can resist corrosion and wind damage far more significantly than other materials. The simplistic construction afforded by their cubic design also gives storage container homes an elevated degree of internal strength and stability.
- Owing to the relatively homogenous dimensions of steel containers, storage container homes are also easier and faster to build. In a sense, steel storage container homes are akin to modular homes, that is, each piece is prefabricated and simply assembled together to create a building. However, in this case, the “pieces” are much bigger, making them easier and faster to adjoin. Additionally, steel containers can be transported very quickly with minimal cost or risk of damage.
1000-Container Student Housing Project, Keetwonen, Amsterdam
For student housing project Keetwonen in Amsterdam, containers have been used to create 1,000 dorm units for Dutch students, making it the biggest container city in the world. It was launched by Tempo Housing in 2006. Not only does it look hip and provides all the amenities a student could ask for, it also has a rooftop used for rainwater drainage, heat dispersal and insulation of the units below. The award-winning project has received a lot of international attention and is so successful that its planned relocation after 5 years has been postponed until 2016.Container City, London
