Eight larger containers together can make a two-story house at about 1400 square feet. The smallest shipping container can provide about 100 square feet of floor space for a shipping container home. Shipping containers are generally available in standard 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft. From these giant Lego blocks, we are building homes of all shapes and sizes. Shipping container homes (also known as CONEX homes) are exactly what they sound like homes made from the steel shipping containers that you see carrying cargo everywhere on trains, trucks, and ships.
