Table of Contents

We’ve divided our database of Shipping Container Projects into numerous categories by Project Type. This helps you to focus on the specific types of container builds you’re most interested in.

Below, you’ll see the available Project Type categories along with the number of projects in each type. Clicking a Project Type will take you to a listing where you can see all the relevant projects of that type.

Note that some projects existing in multiple categories. For instance, a shipping container home that’s used as an Airbnb would be found in both the Single Family Residential AND the Short Term Rental categories.

Remember though, even if you’re only interested in a specific type of shipping container project, you may just find inspiration in a project that’s quite different on the surface. So, we encourage you to take the time to explore as many projects as possible, regardless of their type!

If you’d prefer to do a more specific search, try going to the main Projects page. There, you’ll find a filterable search based on geography, project type, etc. that will quickly take you to the information you need.
