Welcome to Containerville

By: McCoy's Editorial Team

With the devastation caused by the Haiti earthquake, it bears mentioning that once the chaos is tamed, the survivors of that natural disaster are going to need to rebuild their homes and fast. One green housing option that might be on the table is using recycled shipping containers for living and business locations. Container cities have long been a resource for developing areas of the world, because they are dry, fire resistant and readily available. And with the recent focus on green, alternative living spaces, this once rustic housing option has been brought into the realm of customized, comfort housing.

The following slideshow of homes built from recycled shipping containers offers modular housing that can be modified, connected and stacked for a variety of housing options. And since these versatile homes use less labor and resources to create, they’re a cheaper, greener housing selection.

Home sweet shipping container.
