Container Homes

Shipping Containers Used for Container House Construction Selected steel shipping containers are the building blocks of container houses.

Our work
 
explores the removal of barriers - focusing on design quality, economics and systems of delivery for creating Architecture as a product,
 
it is not an individual painstaking self-expression" but is driven by frugal mass consumerism, a modern technological life and a post-materialism society,
 
and is ignited by Michelangelo, Warhol, Christo + Jeanne Claude, Henry Ford and Blue Man Group,
 
it engages a construction methodology of pre-fabrication where the architect concurrently informs, and answers to, a collaborative team focused on product design, development, fabrication and installation,
 
it demands perpetual research, investigation and testing of materials/systems that are global, disposable, mass-produced and/or originally created with non-architectural intent,
 
and is composed of a liberated palette of re-arranged/re-deployed/re-applied objects and systems, 
 
It fulfills a hybrid-vigor sensibility yielding new formal constructs, structural systems, transformations of function and spatial arrangements,
 
 a High level of architecture with predictable end results, at an affordable price point.

Shipping containers are designed to be stacked, fully laden, up to 9 stories high, providing the structural strength that is the hallmark of the QLDC container house construction method.

The standard sizes used for as structural elements for building container homes are "20 foot" and "40 foot" containers. 
These containers are joined and stacked to form larger areas, and enclose spaces in a variety of designs.
Only selected new or "Architectural Grade" refurbished shipping
