Welcome to Container Home
|
Container Home designs and builds modern, energy efficient living and work spaces from re-purposed ocean containers. Southern California is awash in used ocean containers. These containers were designed to be exceedingly rugged. The containers are heavy structural steel; consequently, it provides a robust building backbone. Container Home believe we need to think green at each stage of development.
- Location: we have a 300 mile radius from the source of the used containers (Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach).
- Trucking companies transporting the containers to the building site must meet the "green ports" certification standards.
- The building site must be near public transportation or in walking distance to goods and services.
- The building design must utilize sustainable energy (i.e.,solar, wind etc...).
- Construction must include over 75% re-purposed products and materials
- Construction materials must be sustainable and renewable (i.e., bamboo flooring v. hardwood).
The guidelines we have established are stringent. We are concerned about the pseudo ecology and we are compelled to address the issue head-on. Container Home not only wishes to recycle ocean containers into living and work spaces we seek to address the negative externalities of a host of choices which undermine our goal of ecology.
