As sustainability becomes more of a global trend in all business aspects, much attention is being paid to building with recycled materials. One of the most innovative technologies of the past half-decade that has recently become more popular is container housing. Container housing is the construction of buildings using shipping containers after their shelf life at sea has expired. While shipping containers have a life span of about 10 years at sea, the solid structural capacity gives them a minimum life span of 20 years in-building after they are taken off the ships. We truly believe that this is among the most innovative technologies in sustainable building. For the next few days, we would like to take you through a few pioneering projects and designers applying this new technology to the built environment. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
