Homes & Cottages
Container Homes are modified shipping containers that are finished to act as modern, efficient residential buildings. Container homes can range from a single container or multiple containers can be combined to create full scale larger homes & cottages. Container homes are extremely durable & sustainable, offering superior structural strength that makes them ideal homes for rugged landscapes or harsh weather & climates. Container homes are prefabricated to municipal building codes using the same finishes as traditional homes - including spray foam insulation, electrical / plumbing / HVAC, windows & doors, drywall and exterior cladding.
We offer a range of standard pre-designed & engineered kits which offer our clients the best value, these kits can be customized to make your home unique - including countless options for flooring, kitchens & bathrooms, windows & doors, and exterior cladding solutions. We also offer a range of modern upgrade options including all the latest smart technologies - lighting, security, acoustics and solar solutions. We also offer custom design solutions of any size to create the home you have always envisioned or that is designed for your unique property.
Start with your main dwelling and then add one of our accessory buildings - create your own garage, laneway or garden suite, home gym, office, sauna or cabana. We are constantly developing new products, please see our option here (click through to accessory page). Can you create an accessory buildings button to click that stands out?
