The container house is by far one of the most innovative and interesting housing types. Since the 1960s, with the recent increase in demand for low-cost housing around the world, there has been a resurgence of this design. The most famous container house in the last decade was the Redondo Beach House, designed by Peter DeMaria, a unique residential home designed in 2007 to be recognized as the first real container house in North America. In Asia, container houses are often used for commercial and residential purposes.

Are you unsure of the benefit of container houses? Then let us tell you all about the advantages of this type of home!

Container houses can be customised according to the preferences of the owner, and low cost is the most attractive feature. In addition, a container house can be recycled, so the sustainability is through the roof. The materials used in container houses are more durable when it comes to bracing the elements, as well.

So take a look at these six low-budget and fashionable container houses and enjoy their unique design.

Let's take a look at the ground floor plan of the house. The home has an open-plan design to accommodate the living room, kitchen, and dining room. The master bedroom is located on this floor, too. The best thing about container homes is that they are so easily transformable. This one, for example, could become a hotel at any time.
