For others it’s about living a minimalist and low waste lifestyle. For others, it’s about the convenience of being able to pick up and move their home anywhere they please.

However, almost no one does this as of course we want all the modern comforts such as a kitchen, toilet, shower and electrical fit out. All of this and so much more can be added to a basic shipping container.
