Sustainability and kind on the Environment.Some of the many benefits in using shipping containers InBox Projects works closely with designers, architects, construction companies and end users to build cost effective houses made from containers. The flexibility of adding more space when needed, the cost savings from conventional building methods and the choice of finish makes the shipping container home a thing of beauty. Think of the humble shipping container as a building block from which some interesting and exciting structures such as container housing can be created. Take a look at these 40ft container pods as a great example of how shipping containers can easily and quickly be turned into homes. However the real picture is somewhat different as both architects and self build home owners have proved that beautiful structures including houses can be built using this method. To some the thought of building a house out of steel shipping containers fills them with dread. We have become very sophisticated in our tastes and reflects this in some of the great container housing design ideas that can now be seen both on the internet and in design textbooks in libraries.
