Your Container Home

Tiny is Trending Now

Bigger is not always better when buying and enjoying a home. Smaller is the trend today. You can do just about everything in a tiny home that you can do in a huge mansion, enjoy it just as much, and be just as creative with design and décor.

We also offer a completely off-grid one-bedroom container home mounted on a chassis for about $60,000. A single-unit container home is an inexpensive and compelling year-round residence. It can also be a vacation home to generate income. Our experienced English-speaking builders will work with you to create a modern residence individually crafted for enjoyable living. Delivery and installation costs are not included. We can create customized, attractive container homes that can stand tall anywhere. The only limit is your imagination.

Second, unlike regular shipping containers. refrigerated containers are guaranteed chemical free. A one-container home can be built to your specifications in about 90 days, and installed quickly. Add-ons are easy.

Paste these coordinates —  9.603214, -84.586708  — into your Google Maps search. Zoom in on the Satellite View, and you can see it. We also completed and shipped this model home to Playa Hermosa, and earlier this customized one-container home for a client near Quepos. It is designed to add containers. We have the perfect container home for you: a simple one-container home, or a more elaborate customized multi-container home  - on one of our properties or on yours. Go with us! We are a cut above everyone else.

Why Container Homes?

Quick Build Times

Quick Build Times

At a fraction of the cost

A one-container off-grid home can be built in 90 days. It may not cost less to build than a house of conventional materials. We will build and customize it off-site, and then deliver it move-in-ready to your land. Once completed you can live in your tiny home, and if you want, build your dream home on the same property.

Off-Grid Living

Off-Grid Living

Easily converted to self-sufficiency

If you are contemplating off-grid living, we can build a Costa Rica container home mounted on a chassis with solar power, water catchment and satellite internet. Everything from the electrical wiring to the plumbing is easily adaptable to the solar panel system, rain catchment, and battery backups and cisterns.

Low Maintenance

Low Maintenance

Environmentally friendly homes

A tiny home won’t cost much less to build, but less to maintain. Containers are built to withstand extreme cold and extreme heat – 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.
