Everybody deserves a home. And if that home is affordable, made from recycled materials, and looks unique, that’s even more of a reason to move in! And don’t let the fact that you’ll live in a shipping container get you down—that’s part of the appeal for some people.

One of the biggest fans of this living on the net is the ‘Shipping Container World’ Instagram page devoted to the fantastic and gorgeous homes built out of industrial shipping containers. We’re featuring some of the most exciting and creative houses they’ve featured, so scroll down, upvote your fave photos, and let us know which homes you liked the most.

It looks like there’s a bit of everything for everyone; you need to know where to find it. Like with most architectural projects, however, luxury models are always available, too. Who knew living in a literal container could be considered chique as well?

Like all projects, shipping container homes have their fair share of pros and cons. 

EMS explains that one significant upside of using recycled containers for a building project is the speed of the construction which can be done within a few weeks or months, depending on the size of the house.

Moreover, container houses tend to be more cost-effective than alternatives and durable. Not only that, they’re much more mobile, too. Transporting such a home is far easier if you decide to move elsewhere.

There are a bunch of cons, though. Depending on the current state of the shipping containers you plan to use for your new home, the entire project might not be as eco-friendly as you hope.

Some containers are already worn down or rusted, meaning they must be refurbished. That means spending money on additional materials, some of which aren’t fantastic for the environment.

Furthermore, you must ensure that the containers don’t contain hazardous materials beforehand. So you have to take the time and energy to inspect the materials ahead if you’re not relying on a trusted company to do the work for you and are relying more on your DIY skills.

The ‘Shipping Container World’ Instagram project also works as a blog called ‘Living in a Container.’ The blog’s founder explains that they’d fallen in love with container homes and wanted to share how awesome these projects can be with the world.

“This blog, initially fashioned from my very own enthusiasm for shipping container homes, has developed and is planned to be a noteworthy asset for every home aficionado/visionaries!” they share on their website.

However, the founder also highlights that their project is meant to document these fabulous shipping container homes and inform and entertain the public. They’re not a container home construction company.

“While we do our best to make sure our information is accurate, please contact a professional shipping container home builder for information,” they put things bluntly that you should still get in touch with a professional to double-check everything.

Moreover, the team behind the ‘Shipping Container World’ and ‘Living in a Container’ projects point out that they also don’t sell shipping container houses nor plan to build them. Gain, it’s all about infotainment and sharing their passion with the world.

The project also aims to inspire others with the jaw-dropping designs it features by industry professionals worldwide. What do you think of these shipping container homes, dear A&D lovers?

  • Project : Emulating the natural, cultural and historical importance of #Malinalco, #Mexico, home to one of the world’s three monolithic pyramids, the Mague House integrates the sanctity of the natural terrain into its architecture.

Mexican studio @mcxa.group [IG] designed the home’s volumes to carefully avoid any disturbance to the trees and flora of the sloping plot, resulting in an architectural space that meanders its way through outdoor spaces and abundant foliage.

Local materials such as wood, stone and the Mayan version of stucco, chukum, form a dwelling that is decidedly contemporary yet well within a pre-Hispanic cultural context. Slatted wood walls and large portions of glass take turns in forming a façade that simultaneously welcomes natural light into the space while offering its inhabitants their privacy. 

The different rooms are distributed along both sides of a cemented footpath that cuts across Mague House’s rectangular floor plan. Certain rooms were designed to be multifunctional and flexible, easily shifting from an area of rest to work.
A number of exterior terraces and patios dot the property, culminating in the main outdoor area which hosts a swimming pool, a monolithic stone bonfire pit, and a wooden pyramid-inspired structure.

  • House in minimalist Wabi-Sabi style by @selami.arq [IG]

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.

Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature.

"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

Based on this philosophy, I wanted to design a house in the style of wabi sabi, which is widely used in architecture. What are your thoughts?
