CPH Shelter – budget container house.
Copenhagen is one of the most favorable cities to live in, but not everyone can afford to buy real estate there. To solve this problem, container houses are being built on the outskirts of the city. The advantages of such dwellings are fast construction times, minimal harmful effects on the environment, and relatively inexpensive cost..
CPH Containers architectural project.
CPH Containers builds budget houses from used shipping containers called CPH Shelter. They fully meet the requirements of the so-called «circular economy» – the now popular term used to denote a production model in which raw materials are reduced and waste is reduced to zero.

As already mentioned, for the CPH Shelter project, the priority was to build only from environmentally friendly materials. The interior of the house is sheathed with natural wood, the built-in air ventilation system meets all the necessary standards. Modular structures, if necessary, can be easily expanded by attaching additional containers.

Another important feature of such houses, the developers call their mobility. They even came up with a special term for this dwelling – «floating house on land», because it does not stand on a foundation, but on small platforms. Dismantling a house from containers will only take a few hours.
