Recycled Shipping Containers Transformed Into Trendy Homes

Posted by Queuebot in Home & Garden on August 13, 2009 at 1:58 am

Who would have thought that shipping containers could be used in making beautiful homes? In this post at Green Diary, blogger Aditi Justa explored 10 of the most interesting homes (and structures) built with recycled shipping containers.

Take, for instance, the Redondo Beach Container House:

The Redondo Beach House is an architecturally designed shipping container based contemporary house to suit your site and lifestyle.

The award-winning De Maria Design’s luxury beachside house was constructed using eight prefabricated, recycled steel shipping containers, which are integrated with some traditional building techniques.

Built on modern lines, the sleek and elegant building is resistant to fire, mold and termites. About 70 percent of this affordable construction was assembled in a shop making it inexpensive, time-efficient and resource-efficient.
