Charming One-Bedroom Shipping Container House for £65,000 Has a Waiting List in London, England and Final Cost Can Be a Burden on the Wallet

Sale has a catch: buyers must secure their own land to accommodate the containers

A charming one-bedroom shipping container house for £65,000 has attracted buyers in London, England, to the point that a waiting list with 500 names has formed. The attractive price for the London real estate market justifies it. But there is a catch. This is the cost of a shipping container house. Anyone who buys one of them needs to have land to be able to live in it. So, depending on where the owner wants to live, the final cost of this venture could be a burden on the wallet.

Located on the banks of the Grillagh River - for residents known as Pixies Paradise - the young architect Patrick Bradley designed his shipping container house, set in the countryside in Northern Ireland next to the historic and picturesque Drumlamph Woodland, which is what remains of the "Great Killetra Forest", which would have once covered the whole of Northern Ireland.

Unlike any other house that has ever been designed and built within Northern Ireland, this house takes a completely new approach to rural Irish countryside architecture. With the concept of enhancing agricultural buildings spread across the countryside, the house is a refreshing approach to contemporary 21st century Irish architecture.

British artist David Mach has designed his first shipping container building called "Mach 1", consisting entirely of 30 shipping containers. The piece will be key to the new planned development of Edinburgh Park. Designed in collaboration with architect Dixon Jones, the shipping container building does not follow the modular, linear approach that this type of structure normally lends itself to. Instead, its sculptural form is intended to draw attention to the new neighborhood, especially those traveling by train.




A multipurpose shipping container building planned to house the marketing part of the development, Mach 1 will include a large exhibition space, gallery and cafeteria, to provide the flexibility to host events at various scales. To fulfill its marketing function, the shipping container building is slated to display a full site model, detailed building parts, illustrations, and informational displays on the southern phase of construction of Edinburgh Park itself.

Edinburgh Park is slated to be a 17-acre urban neighborhood west of the city - the largest development currently underway in the region. Designed by Dixon Jones, the project follows previous successful collaboration with Parabola at the award-winning Kings Place venture at Kings Cross.

The park is currently in the planning phase, with the "Mach 1" shipping container building itself submitted for approval. The first phase of the work will include high-quality offices, a new public square, sports and leisure facilities, a health center, shops, bars and restaurants.

The development also includes a strong public art component, supporting two residences for emerging writers and photographers, as well as offering outreach opportunities with local schools. Mach 1 is an emblematic shipping container building that represents the artistic focus of development, comments the founder and president of Parabola, Peter Millican:

"Its unique installation blends perfectly with Parabola's ambition to create a bold and exciting neighborhood that combines exemplary design and innovation to offer a new place in the city rich in art and culture, with world-class public spaces, scenery and facilities . "

Known for his large-scale collages, sculptures, and dynamic installations, often using everyday elements, David Mach describes himself as an "accidental architect" when it comes to the "Mach 1" project:

"There is quite a dramatic way in the shipping container building, it is not a regular piece of architecture. It will be something that will really show. It is a building that makes a statement about itself."

This project is the first new build office to be approved with shipping containers construction within a Conservation area in central London. The containers are sprayed hues of red and yellow to match the original glazed bricks of the surrounding Listed Buildings.

Simon Astridge (on the project): "I want my clients to walk into a space and not be able to keep their hands in their pockets. I want them to touch the different hues, textures and colours of the tiled products. I want them to run their fingers over the walls and the floor. The porcelain gallery project allowed us to achieve our goals of sensorial architecture. Attention was paid to encompassing the rich history of Hatton Garden within the design, with the use of shipping containers representing the industrial heritage through to smaller details such as the antique light fittings and custom display cabinets designed to mimic and communicate the significance of the jewellery workshops still prevalent in the area.





The project is rooted within its context by orientating towards a mature locust tree and with the colours of the shipping containers taken from the surrounding grade listed buildings and classical red and yellow hues of London brick. Our celebratory concept for everything the visitor touches to be clay starts as soon as they enter the gallery with the gentle touch of the ceramic buzzer, this concept extends throughout the project with everything from the extruded stair handrail to the slender door handles being made from 100% natural clay. We meticulously designed all the pieces and their unique glazes with our ceramicist Emma Louise Payne."
