The choice of a container house was made for its innovative style, but also for the ecological aspect of reusing and recycling the material.
The container house is based on a story that is both surprising and original. As owners of land wishing to build our house there, we went to meet a house construction company working with metal structures (which ultimately did not appeal to us) and on the way back, we noticed a container house construction company. We therefore took the initiative to inquire and this project immediately seemed more suited to our desires. Having the choice of containers, using recycled containers and being one of the pioneers in this field of construction, these are the reasons that led us to opt for this project. Result: a comfortable house built with several containers, accompanied by a swimming pool itself made thanks to the reuse of a container.
In addition, economically it is a very reliable project and product, easily adaptable and modular .
On the practical side, the house does not retain heat like concrete and its architecture allows ventilation when the bay windows are open.
Our house is located in the heart of an eco-village project which intends to replicate this housing model to house disadvantaged people.
Building users opinion
Satisfied with our choice and our investment.
