31 Jan The Rise of Luxurious Container Homes
Sustainable Living Without Compromising on Style
Sustainable living is on the rise with more people converting to solar energy and alternative water supplies. In recent years, repurposing shipping containers into luxurious container homes has emerged as an environmentally conscious choice, affording homeowners the flexibility to configure these sturdy boxes into the ideal dwelling. Turning your architectural vision into reality is easy with Absolute Containers, the leader in custom container and modular solutions.
What is the Appeal of Luxurious Container Homes?
When thinking of building a luxury home, your mind may go to mansions, or interiors encompassing granite and marble, and exteriors clad in natural stone and composite materials. The last thing that enters your mind is a container that was used to transport cargo. The appeal of constructing luxurious homes from shipping containers is that it combines the best of both worlds; an industrial look and feel with all the modern trimmings and the freedom of limitless design options.
These strong and versatile structures can serve as modest abodes or multi-storied homes. When arranged with ingenuity or finished with luxurious materials, they can be transformed into architectural statements.
The Environmental Advantage
The economic and environmental advantages of prefab luxury container homes are undeniable. By allowing Absolute Containers to carefully repurpose shipping containers, substantial amounts of metal from landfills can be diverted while simultaneously reducing the time and financial investment associated with brick-and-mortar builds.
Unlocking Limitless Design Potential
It is important to understand that a home doesn’t need to be huge to be luxurious, it depends on individual requirements. With four 6m containers, you can create comfortable luxury both inside and out. All it needs is some carefully considered cladding options to either retain the industrial appeal of the container such as corrugated iron sheeting and cantilevered steel beams or to soften the appearance with treated timber or a palette of understated colours.
Think of containers as a blank canvas where you can unlock your design potential. Whether you prefer the interior to encompass laminate wood flooring and soft lighting for a cosy cottage feel or if you want the industrial look of the container to continue indoors, there are no limits to the design possibilities.
