Amazing Container Homes in Spain



Recently, container homes have become an architectural fave, and it seems like everyone is talking about them. In Spain and other parts of the world, container homes, RVs, silo homes, tiny houses, etc., are taking over from conventional brick and mortar models.
Here is why we think a container home might be the right fit for you.

What is a container home"
A container home is typically a dwelling place made from steel shipping containers. You know, those large steel containers used to transport goods primarily via sea" Yeah, those.
Generally, these containers come in one of two sizes: 20 feet by 8 feet or 40 feet by 8 feet. The 20-foot containers have about 160 square feet to work with, while the 40-foot containers give 320 square feet of living area. There is no limit to what you can do with all this space. You can use them as a standalone residence, an office space, or create a multi-level home with several crates. Well, people are becoming more creative with shipping containers and are recycling them to make comfortable homes. I kid you not; the designs are unique! Just look at what these reusable containers have become.
