I will be designing a shipping container home, using only four containers. This home will serve the purpose of a regular home. Shipping containers have been researched and were found to be a great structure for a home. They are sturdy, pretty spacey, and cheap. The reason they are cheap is due to the abundance amount of them. The world has over six million of them, making them very available. They are also very inexpensive due to the simplicity of the design,. They are literally perfect for the job, they have been made to contain heavy duty equipment, and lots of it.
