These affordable shipping container homes utilize eight 40ft containers. Each is professionally welded to a structurally engineered foundation and each other.

The gabled roof is ventilated with an attic fan. Vinyl siding from Home Depot is used to clad the exterior and shield the container walls from direct sunlight. The structure is insulated with fiberglass in the walls and ceilings behind gypsum drywalls.

Ceiling fans and air-conditioning are included throughout to provide mechanical cooling, while steel casement windows provide natural cooling. The design is simple and modern. There are large external laundry and storage rooms for each apartment.

The gated compound is secured with dusk to dawn lighting and cameras. Bay leaf trees planted on each side of the car park provide shade for the property.
