Container houses have gained popularity in recent years due to their affordability, durability, and eco-friendliness. They can be designed in various sizes and styles, and can be customized to meet the specific needs of the homeowner. They are also relatively quick to build, since the containers themselves are already structurally sound and require minimal modification.
