Net Zero Container Home Prices

Since learning how affordable shipping containers are in StLouis-2015 Spring Shipping Container Special: 20ft $1,700, 40ft containers $2,100 with additional discounts on purchases of 5 or more

I wanted to share the open floor plan I had in mind for the 5 Container Layout with open concept living areas.

In a few days I'll publish the remaining Interior Designs Scotty.

Design Note: The Width of the distance between the container homes will be determined by the Client Budgets.  Wood Trusses are available in spans upto 100 feet.  The real question is how big do you want your open floor  plan to be?

If you have a specific Container Home design in mind and would like an opinion or design assistance contact me via the contact form and I'll get back with you.  Usually with 24 hrs.  Scotty

Net Zero Container Home Solar and Wind Energy

5 Container Layout for open concept living areas. Net Zero Energy use from 4k Wind Turbine and Solar Panels System. Passive Solar Roof Overhang Design that doubles as support for solar panels and blocks summertime sun rays.

This CAD design was originally made for a client who was interested in a container home design. After the costs to buy, renovate, and build a container home outweighed the cost of a larger and roomier Post Frame Building design they decided that maybe a container home wasn't the best fit for them and their growing family.

The Clients also requested a Rock Climbing Wall incorporated into the Home Design- ie Must Have. This was also the reason behind the design of the Container on its end sticking up above the remain home. With a few windows the container can also be used for a Natural Air Movement Home Ventilation Feature as well as house the Wind Turbine. This meets my design goals of a building feature that has 2 or more benefits is always a worthwhile addition!

There are no interior plans for this design. If you would like an interior design let me know and I'll work one up.  The usable interior floor plan space is 20- 40 feet wide (wooden truss system) x up to 40 feet long with up to 16 feet tall ceilings.   This allows plenty of space that could incorporate a variety of designs.
