30 Most Influential Shipping Container Homes

An honest review of this Container 30 Most Influential Shipping Container Homes

Home Studio would need to say that

there wasn’t anything outstanding

about it that would entitle it to a

position in the 30 Most Influential

Container Homes Ever Built.

The reason this studio from Meka

Homes is included in this list not

because of the design team because

of the genius of the Meka Marketing

Team.

Not since Peter De Maria Redondo

Beach House was launched back in

2006 has a Container Home had so

much press and publicity and interest

from those outside the movement.

The reason behind all that press ? A

large part at least was the location -

West Village - New York City.

The downside of the Meka Project for

me was that the business model of

Meka Homes is to manufacture in

China and import completed homes

into the US something I don’t support

- the only benefit is some cost savings

at the expense of local businesses and

the environment. These great designs

could easily be executed locally and

still be affordable.

In 2002, the team that would eventually go on to create the famous Container City project USM Ltd created 30 Most Influential Shipping Container Homes

three en-suite accommodation units to act as artist retreats at Peaton Hill, Scotland.

In order to blend into the beautiful rural the exterior was painted dark green and a green roof was

constructed to grow out of the landscape due to the slope of the terrain, sliding glass doors lead out onto

the decked balcony.

Each units is constructed from 2 - 8’ x 20’ containers providing kitchen, sitting, bedroom and bathroom (with

shower) spaces. The 960 sqft green roof was planted This project deserves inclusion in this book for the

simple fact that in 2002 there where just a handful of people building with containers most projects where

private and tucked away, this was a very public and high profile project at the time.

Due to the success of the first three units, six more were commissioned and completed in 2006.

This Shipping Container Holiday Cabin located on an Special Forces army training base in Sri Lanka was built entirely from 30 Most Influential Shipping Container Homes

reclaimed materials. It is surrounded by jungle and sits on the shore of a beautiful lake with views to the mountains beyond.

The cabin was constructed in about a month without skilled construction labor under the architect’s instruction. The

Architect considered all the natural and man made elements already available in the setting and advised the owner to find

the reclaimed material to be used in the project. Materials used included timber strips from old bunkers and weapon boxes,

and used railway sleepers. The overall intent of the designer was to create a relaxing and enjoyable space by using already

available resources and the surrounding environment.
