Our First Container Home

We finished this four-container luxury residence last summer. Take a good look at this documentary produced by a film company from Toronto, Canada just before the home was finished. Also, paste these coordinates —  9.603214, -84.586708  — into your Google Maps search. Zoom in on the Satellite View, and you can actually see it. The developer is Richard Krug, who has lived in Costa Rica for the past 30 years, and is best known as one of the pioneers of sportfishing tourism in the country. The builder was Gabriel (Gabe) Tomasini, a licensed welder and California building inspector who came here to build this home.

Why Container Homes?

Quick Build Times

Quick Build Times

At a fraction of the cost

A container home can be built quickly. It costs less to build than a house built of conventional materials. We will build and customize it off-site, and then deliver it to your land ready to move in. Once completed you can live in your tiny home, and if you want, build your dream home on the same property.

Off-Grid Ready

Off-Grid Ready

Easily converted to self-sufficiency

If you are contemplating off-the-grid living, a tiny container home is far easier to customize with solar panels and water supply than is a traditional home. Everything from the electrical wiring to the plumbing is easily adaptable to a solar panel system, rain catchment, and even battery backups and cisterns.

Low Maintenance

Low Maintenance

Environmentally friendly homes

A tiny home costs less to build, and less to maintain. Containers are built to withstand extreme cold and extreme heat, and everything from rain to snow to sleet. They are earthquake- and hurricane-proof. Tiny homes are environmentally friendly. They leave a smaller footprint, and do less harm to nature.
