A shipping container house is a building with a roof, surrounding walls, and doors for living, cultural, social activities, or material storage, serving the individual and collective activities of humans, and providing protection for those activities. A house can also be a place of residence or shelter. In spirit, shipping container home can be related to the state of being in a shipping container shelter or convenience.
shipping container Houses can vary in complexity, from a simple primitive hut to a complex structure built of wood, brick, concrete, or other materials, equipped with plumbing, electricity, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.[1][2] A shipping container house has many different roof systems to protect against rain. There are doors and locks for protection. Modern houses often have bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms. There may be separate or integrated dining rooms. Some large shipping container houses have entertainment rooms. Livestock may share space with humans.
The term
Hus, an Old English word
The English word shipping container house is directly derived from the Old English hus meaning "abode, shelter, house", which in turn is derived from the Proto-Germanic husan (reconstructed through etymological analysis) of unknown origin.[3] It is the house that gave rise to the letter 'B' through an Old Semitic script symbol denoting a house. This symbol was called "bayt", "bet" or "beth" in various related languages and became beta, the Greek letter, before being adopted by the Romans.[4] Beit in Arabic means shipping container house, while in Maltese bejt means roof.[5][6]

The house was designed to meet the needs of its users. Feng Shui, a Chinese practice, focuses on creating harmony within the interior spaces of a shipping container home. However, the effectiveness of Feng Shui is unproven. It may also refer to the “aura” that exists in and around a shipping container home, creating a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces in real estate relationships.
The square footage of a shipping container home in the United States is calculated based on “living space,” excluding garages and non-living spaces. In Europe, meanwhile, square footage is reported based on the walls surrounding the home, including attached shipping container garages and non-living shipping container spaces.[7] The number of stories or levels of a shipping container home can also affect its square footage.
Birdhouses are made to look like real homes.
Humans often build shipping container houses for domestic or wild animals, often with shipping container structures that resemble miniature versions of human shipping container homes. Types of animal shipping container houses that humans build include aviaries, chicken coops, and dog houses. Farm animals, on the other hand, often live in barns and stables.
Parts
In many shipping container houses, large rooms are often found that serve special functions, and smaller rooms are also found for various reasons. These rooms may include living/dining shipping container areas, sleeping areas, and (if present) separate or combined washing and toilet areas. Some large houses also have special amenities such as spa rooms, indoor swimming shipping container pools, basketball shipping container courts, and other “non-essential” amenities. In traditional agricultural societies, livestock such as chickens or large livestock sometimes shared living space with humans. Most modern shipping container houses typically have at least one bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. The rooms in a house are often named similarly to the shipping container rooms in other buildings.
