Affordable Contemporary Eco Homes, Cargo Shipping Container Houses

Shipping container homes are one of the modern trends in recycling for affordable contemporary house design. Copenhagen-based, CPH Shelter project recycles cargo shipping containers for small homes bringing them to the city as the part of the modular Cargotecture Village. Using empty shipping containers and natural materials, the architects create these attractive, functional, and eco-friendly homes called CPH Shelters.

The project offers a great housing solution. The small but comfortable contemporary homes can be moved and installed almost anywhere in the world. Houses, made of cargo shipping containers are inexpensive and can be an answer to global housing challenges. Creative space-saving interior design and Scandinavian craftsmanship blend into these unique eco-homes built with recycled and eco-friendly, local materials.

Empty cargo shipping containers are a perfect material for creative architectural designs. They are easy to move and affordable; can be used for contemporary modular buildings with single housing units, larger house designs, and Green buildings in public areas.
