About Container Home Hub
Container Home Hub is an independent website about shipping container homes. It’s here for two kinds of readers: people who are simply curious about container homes, and people seriously planning one. Either way, the aim is to put clear information and design inspiration in one place.
What you’ll find here
Guides, explainers, real-world build examples, and floor-plan ideas covering how container homes are designed, built, permitted, insulated, financed, and lived in. Think of it as a starting point — enough grounding to ask better questions, weigh your options, and decide whether a container home makes sense for you.
What this site isn’t
Container Home Hub is not a construction company, an architecture firm, or a design service. We don’t build container homes, sell them, or match you with builders. Nothing here is professional engineering, architectural, or legal advice. Codes, zoning, and site conditions vary enormously from one place to the next — treat what you read here as background, and check the specifics against local requirements and a licensed professional where your project calls for one.
A bit of history
Container Home Hub grew out of an earlier site, thecasaclub.com, which covered similar ground. It has been under its current ownership since 2023. Older articles are being reviewed and updated over time as information changes and as the site’s focus has narrowed to container homes specifically.
Who runs and writes for the site
Container Home Hub is owned and operated by Purinsen Translations, and edited by Tetsuro Kawabata. Over the years the site has published work from a number of freelance writers covering container-home topics; articles are edited and maintained by the site rather than left as one-off contributions, and are updated as better information becomes available.
Our digital products
We offer two paid downloads:
- A planning guide that walks through how to approach a container-home project — budgeting, sequencing the work, permits, and the mistakes that cost people the most time and money.
- A floor-plan inspiration guide with layout ideas for different household sizes and budgets.
Both are planning and inspiration aids created by designers. They are not construction documents and not the work of licensed architects. Use them to think through your project and brief the professionals you hire — not to build from directly.
