FAQs

You must have a few questions.

Why are you using containers?

Not only is there an excess supply of shipping containers, but they're also incredibly durable, they are meant to be transported, and they are stackable.
Do your residential products meet building code standards?

Yes.
How big are containers?

There are several sizes of shipping containers, such as 20 ft, 40 ft, 48ft, or 53 ft long. The width of 20 and 40 foot containers are 8 feet, and the height is either 8.5 or 9.5 feet. The most common containers are 40 feet long.
Who would want to live in such a small space?

Look at Europe, look at Asia. Living in a small space is nothing new. There is a growing trend of urban revitalization, which includes a move to smaller spaces. We can, however, put several containers together to create larger spaces. Many of our products use two containers.
What does 3twenty Solutions mean?

The standard 40 foot container has a foot print of 320 square feet.
Why are there so many containers just sitting around North America?

North America imports more than it exports. In other words, containers get to North America, and there is often nothing to ship back to the Asia region, and it does not make sense to send the containers back empty. So, they sit here, and we buy them.
Is this a new idea?

No. Just google container homes! Be careful, you can spend hours surfing cool architecture and creatively converted containers.
