House can be built from any materials and one of the most interesting is shipping container. You only have to spend a small amount of money and you can buy a few of strong and insulated metal boxes. With a limited budget, you may be tempted to plan a home from this material too. Simple concrete foundation is used as the stilts to hold the containers weight. After placing the containers above the base structure than a wood frame for wall and roof system is installed. This system would allow you to add the height of the construction and also as rainwater drainage. Then you can add plywood, prefab doors and glass windows to decorate the exterior. The result is maybe rustic but it looks very contemporary and you only have to add some ornaments to make it looks like a real home.
