A container house is not at all ugly or claustrophobic, but luxury and modern. Curious? Get inspired by these 5 benefits!
Benefit 1: you save a lot of money
One of the biggest advantages? The price! Between €15.000 and €30.000, you find a fully established container. An big difference if you compare it to a ‘normal’ house, which costs more than €250.000. Moreover, house prices keep on getting higher. Do you understand the popularity of a container house now?
Benefit 2: a container house is installed in no time
Another benefit? The quick installation. In less than half a year, you can move in! First, the container is made ready for use in a workplace. The actual installation only takes one or two weeks. Quick fix, whether you choose a basic container or an architectural construction.
Benefit 3: a container house is eco friendly
A container house is brilliantly eco friendly. Dreaming of a completely independent house, without any water, gas, electricity, or sewer connection? That’s possible! It’s easy to achieve the standards of energy efficient living Bye bye big energy bills!
Benefit 4: from container look to wood: the possibilities are endless
The wooden façade covering makes the industrial container look disappear. Not really a fan of the specific container look? No problem!
Plaster, wood or another type of façade covering can hide the original metal construction ánd add an insulating layer. If instead you do like the industrial look, you can just let the container be.

On the inside, you have the exact same options as you have in a common house. Wallpaper, paint, wood… The possibilities to create a cosy atmosphere are endless.
Benefit 5: be creative with the space available
The smaller the space, the more creative you have to be. Think ahead! Do you spend a lot of time in the living room? Count it in. Is cooking your favourite time spent? Make the kitchen big enough. Let the architect know what you want, to be sure everything will be exactly what you wished for.
Another crucial aspect: the natural light. Make sure there is at least one side with panoramic windows. That way, you not only enjoy the environment, but the light makes your house look a lot bigger.
The rest of the house (decoration) is the same as in a common house. You have the same options and possibilities to go wild!
And you, would you consider living in a container house?
