About
Established in 2010, Eco Container Home has been a trusted voice in sustainable design and shipping container architecture for over a decade. We create and curate content that helps you design, build, and live better — using repurposed materials, modular thinking, and a deep respect for the environment.
Whether you’re planning an off-grid retreat, a modern prefab home, or a tiny urban studio, we’re here to help bring your vision to life with expert advice, inspiring case studies, and trusted builder connections.
Why Shipping Container Homes?
We believe homes should be smarter — not bigger. Shipping containers provide a strong, adaptable framework for creating spaces that are efficient, durable, and surprisingly beautiful. With the right design, they can offer everything from high-end luxury to affordable, energy-efficient living.
