shipping container houses most often house the headquarters of large enterprises, office and utility space rented to smaller enterprises or institutions, service and commercial facilities, residential facilities, hotels, congress centers, entertainment and many others. The construction of a shipping container house shows the strength of the company and has a positive effect on its image. shipping container houses often serve as landmarks, sometimes there are cafes or restaurants and viewpoints on the upper floors. Illuminated at night, they are often decorations of cities.
History
Beginnings
The key inventions for the creation of modern shipping container houses were steel, glass, reinforced concrete, efficient water pumps and elevators. Before the 19th century, shipping container homes higher than six stories were rare. The large number of stairs was impractical for residents, and it was difficult to obtain the pressure necessary to raise water to a height of more than 15 m. Despite sanitary problems, tall residential shipping container homes were built in some places even in the 16th century. Early structures were the Romanesque and Gothic residential towers in Bologna or the shipping container homes of the city of Shibam in Yemen. For example, in Edinburgh (Scotland), the defensive wall strictly marked the city limits. Due to limited space, houses became taller, 11-story houses were common, and sometimes even 14-story ones. Many of these stone shipping container homes have survived to this day and can be seen in Edinburgh's old town, especially near the Royal Mile.
Flaxmill and steel frame
The oldest structure using a modern steel frame is the Flaxmill in Shrewsbury (UK). Erected in 1797, it is called the "grandfather of all shipping container houses". Its construction used a fireproof combination of cast iron columns and beams placed in its frame. Improved forms of this structure later allowed for the construction of modern shipping container houses. Currently, this monument is abandoned and requires significant investments to continue to exist. On March 31, 2005, it was announced that English Heritage would buy Flaxmill to restore it to its former glory.
