Can’t buy a home because prices have skyrocketed?
Then you can move into a shipping container and build your container home in Israel!
Converting a shipping container into a living space is possible. And it can be much cheaper and faster than building a traditional house. The container home has developed in Nordic countries and Canada. Today, this new housing solution is expanding in France as well as in Israel, offering a new low-cost housing option.
Inside, the house looks like any normal house, but the outside looks completely different.
These homes are assembled in a factory and then moved and set up wherever you can imagine.
Why build a house with containers?
Containers are an excellent building material for homes. Because they are designed to withstand heavy internal and external loads in the most adverse conditions a house might have to endure.
Moreover, the structure of the container is more durable than a traditional wooden frame and is resistant to fire, mold, and insects.
Taking advantage of these qualities, this solution is comfortable, eco-friendly, and inexpensive compared to traditional construction.
Clearly, containers were not created to be used as homes, but thanks to creative design, solutions have been found.
What are the most appreciated features of the container home?
- Hurricane resistance: the solid steel structure, when anchored to the ground with concrete foundations, can withstand winds of up to 170 mph.
- Earthquakes: being a steel structure designed to withstand forces from all directions, it is extremely unlikely to collapse during an earthquake.
- Tornadoes: when properly anchored, reinforced, and built with a solid base, a container can better withstand the effects of tornadoes.
- Weather resistance: shipping containers, container homes withstand the elements very well and are developing all over the world.
- Comfortable: the design of the house can accommodate living spaces similar to those of a standard home.
The ease of the container home: Have your home ready in just a few weeks!
- Easily transportable: These homes are built in a factory, transported fully, and assembled on the site of the final installation. Adaptable to uneven terrain. The design, including adjustable support stilts, provides flexibility for its installation on the land.
- Easily installed: supported by stilts or a cement slab, the house does not need a foundation. Thus avoiding costly foundation walls around its perimeter.
- Comfort and design features: The functionality of the floor plans. This is a fundamental design decision when it comes to homes with limited square footage. The porch, often overlooked for cost reasons, creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Heating and cooling systems provide a better home experience.
