Shipping Container Houses - Versatile, Sustainable, and Modern Living Solutions

As housing needs evolve, shipping container houses provide an innovative answer. These modular homes, crafted from sturdy steel containers, deliver sustainability, durability, and flexibility. At XIAOYA, we specialize in prefabricated container homes designed for diverse purposes—whether it’s a personal retreat, a commercial space, or a community project.

What Are Shipping Container Houses?

Shipping container houses transform steel containers—typically 20ft or 40ft—into functional spaces. Known as portable cabins, they’re perfect for custom container homes, tiny houses, or multi-unit developments. Their robust, stackable design positions them as leaders in modular construction.

Rapid Deployment: Our prefabricated shipping container homes are ready faster than traditional builds.
