Regardless, there are examples of container homes of every shape and size…and we’ve spoken to many of their owners to get you the best tips and recommendations about building and living in them!
What about the hundreds of companies with hip offices and retail locations made out of containers? This includes everything from cafes and restaurants to corporate headquarters and design studios.

We hope you’ll stick around and explore the information we have to share with you about these structures.
