A container for a home? That will not necessarily spark a lot of joy for most people. If they see these houses - made from shipping containers - that will all change. These shipping containers as tiny houses can be a solution to our housing problem. Another advantage: the plan is not only more sustainable but also allows you to build a house for half the price of a ‘normal’ home. New Ideas For Sustainable Building Rising house prices, scamming landlords, no space for new projects: the housing shortage is a real social problem. As the world’s (urban) population keeps on growing, we urgently need to look for solutions. Shipping containers as tiny houses can be an answer we are looking for: these metal boxes can be converted into fully functional homes. And the best part: the used shipping containers can be designed and turned into your dream house, even two-floored! By modifying used shipping containers, a group of designers, builders, and architects have found a way to repurpose these metal materials. The estimated amount of unexploited shipping containers is over 20 million globally, which gives a lot of opportunities for this alternative house building. Other advantages: the versatility and the resistance to various weather conditions of these containers, and, of course, the reasonable price. Recommended:  Sustainable Housing Reused Materials And Photo-voltaic Panels Shipping Containers Base Cost To Build Per Container Millennials among us can probably confirm it is quite difficult to spend lots of money on something other than a huge mortgage - depending on where you live, of course. For this generation, a mortgage is almost impossible to dodge. These tiny houses made from sea containers are a solution for those that don´t want this kind of financial burden on their shoulders, as they are a lot more affordable than ´normal´ housing. Bottom line: you can have a simple house built for approximately $ 15,000 and pay around $ 250,000 for a more posh and luxurious home. A lot more affordable than ‘normal’ housing! What size has a shipping container? Shipping containers come in standard sizes, with surfaces of 15 m2 or 30 m2. The first will cost between $ 1000 and 2500 dollars: the second between 3150 dollars and $ 4000. Of course, the shipping container will need modifying to turn it into a home. Additional costs that you have to take into account are labor costs and costs for adaptations to build a container home, which will be around 13,000 dollars. If you compare the above prices with a matching but 'normal' house, you will pay a considerable cheaper price for a shipping container house.   {youtube}                                               Are Shipping Containers As Tiny Houses The New Trend?                                                        8 Unbelievable Shipping Container Structures Green And Black Shipping Containers House In need of some modular home inspiration?

A shipping container is a special, non corrosive Corten steel; then, when coated with the Ceramic coating, it becomes virtually rust proof and also prevents mildew, mold and is highly antiseptic.

This studio in Germany is made out of ten shipping containers that are arranged to direct sunlight into the interior. Do shipping container homes need a foundation? With shipping container homes, the concrete piers are generally laid at each corner of the container. Another great reason to use a pier foundation is that other foundations, such as pile foundations, require expensive specialized equipment which can obviously be difficult for DIY builders.

As the tiny house movement seems to be gaining quite a bit of ground in the United States, north of the border in Canada, things seem to be picking up as well. Besides its first tiny house festival a couple of years back, we're now seeing a number of high-quality tiny houses come out of Canada. Tiny House Movement With ‘Minimaliste’ Quebec tiny house builder 'Minimaliste' is one of these up-and-coming builders creating thoughtfully designed small spaces. We were thoroughly impressed with one of their previous builds, and now co-founder Phil Beaudoin gives a tour of the company's latest work, 'The Eucalyptus', with a characteristic tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. When did the tiny house movement start? The Movement The most recent movement began in 1997 with Jay Shafer who built one on wheels for his own use. Two years later he introduced the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company to the world which provides building plans and detailed information all aspects of tiny houses. The 9,2 meters long house was commissioned by a client living in California, but has been winter-proofed as a four-season type of home, as the client may someday move to the northeast US, or potentially sell it to someone living in a colder climate. Most notably, it is built with a large 2-kilowatt roof solar system to go go completely off-the-grid, but contains all the amenities: dishwasher, washer, refrigerator and so on.

Best Tiny Houses Tiny House Movement With ‘Minimaliste’: The Noyer The Noyer was built in close collaboration with a client from California (US). This house is quite different from previous projects from Minimaliste on many levels, including the roof slope and the bedroom layout. This unit, just like all of our houses, is meant to perform as well in a Californian climate as in a northern climate such as Quebec (Canada). The Noyer is intended to be inhabited full-time by a couple or a single person. The interior of the Noyer really gives the impression of being in a small apartment. Indeed, the layout of the different areas creates a different feeling than in our previous models. Even without separations, the disposition of the elements creates the effect of distinct living areas, looking like a small open-plan dwelling. The general appearance is very warm, due to the different colors used for wood and other materials. As you can see in the pictures, the wood is clearly in the spotlight in this house!                                                                  Tiny house on wheels, The Noyer                                               Tiny House Movement With ‘Minimaliste’ Is Growing: Canada Minimaliste’ Is Growing: Canada: The Exterior Of The Noyer What size is considered a tiny house? The typical size of a small home seldom exceeds 500 square feet (46 m2). The typical tiny house on wheels is usually less than 8 by 20 ft (2.4 by 6.1 m), with livable space totaling 120 sq ft (11 m2) or less, for ease of towing and to exempt it from the need for a building permit (depending of the country you live). For this construction, we created a blend between a charcoal-colored steel siding and an brown dyed eastern cedar cladding. The different transitions between the two materials make it possible to make them stand out. This combination is a novelty; we worked along with the client to come up with this unique design that perfectly demonstrates how possible it is to give a unique look to a small home. The roof slope differs from our previous tiny homes, giving a dynamic and less linear exterior look, while allowing a better clearance above the head when the occupants are in the bedroom loft.
