Custom Container Living engineers premium multi-level shipping container homes that maximize your site footprint without sacrificing living space. By stacking structurally reinforced ISO Corten steel shipping containers, our design team produces spacious residential floor plans featuring private upper-level master suites, open-concept communal living areas, and expansive outdoor rooftop decks.
Every multi-story residence is framed, insulated, wired, plumbed, and detailed under strict quality control in our dedicated Butler, Missouri facility. Our factory-built approach delivers structural integrity, thermal performance, and compliance with structural building codes worldwide.
Compare our proven multi-level container layouts. Every floor plan is fully configurable for off-grid power, climate-specific insulation packages, and custom architectural finishes.
A compact two-story residence combining three 20-foot containers. Designed with ground-floor living amenities, a private upper-level bedroom suite, and a full rooftop observation deck optimized for urban lots, ADUs, and rental properties.
Constructed from four 20-foot high-cube containers in a balanced cross-stacked configuration. Features two private bedroom suites with individual full bathrooms, expansive picture glazing, and direct upper-deck access.
Our expansive flagship multi-level design using three 40-foot containers. Delivers generous open-concept kitchen and entertaining space downstairs, dual full suites, and an expansive walk-out rooftop entertaining terrace.
Why commercial developers, overseas buyers, and private landowners choose our factory-built two-story container systems.
Engineered corner casting interlocks and internal structural steel framing provide high seismic stability, hurricane-rated wind load capacity, and long structural lifespans.
Our stacked container designs feature weather-sealed rooftop decks with perimeter safety handrails, doubling functional living space without expanding ground footprints.
Off-site fabrication mitigates on-site weather delays, material shrinkage, and subcontractor disputes, shortening project delivery schedules by up to 50% compared to traditional stick framing.
High-density closed-cell spray foam insulation applied to all exterior boundaries prevents condensation, provides a vapor barrier, and maintains stable indoor climates across extreme seasons.
Every build features complete, code-compliant rough-in and finish electrical, PEX supply plumbing, internal drain lines, and high-efficiency ductless mini-split climate control systems.
Units are precision modified to preserve standard intermodal transport capabilities. Containers travel directly to your site via truck or ocean freight, ready for simple on-site crane staging.
