Container homes are one of the most flexible and affordable housing options available in Australia- but where can you actually place one?
At Home Tech Club, we build container homes that suit a wide range of uses and locations. Whether it's a backyard studio, rural retreat, or something more commercial, there's a good chance a container home could be the perfect fit.
Here are just some of the most popular places and purposes for installing a container home:
Backyard as a secondary dwelling
In many council areas across Australia, you can place a container home in your backyard as a granny flat, teenage retreat or guest accommodation- provided it meets your local council requirements. All of our container home models, being the JULIET, VIOLET and STELLA, are ideal for this as they offer a compact and functional living space without needing a full scale build.
On rural or remote land
Got acreage or a bush block? Our container homes are a great choice for:
- Off-grid living
- Holiday cabins
- Tiny house retreats
- Weekenders
With optional features like solar, septic and hot water, you can go fully off-grid and live comfortably.
Seasonal worker accommodation & staff housing
From farms to construction sites, container homes are the perfect solution for on-site worker housing. They're easy to set up, quick to transport and if you choose our JULIET range. cam be configured as singles, doubles or shared units depending on what you need.
Another unit especially popular for this is the STELLA, as it offers extra room, storage and a more permanent feel.
Site offices & project hubs
Need a practical, portable office space? Our container units can be tuned into functional site offices, complete with power, lighting, desks and air conditioning. Perfect for:
- Construction sites
- Mining operations
- Land development projects
- Short-term project bases
Caravan parks & tourist accommodation
Many caravan parks and holiday parks are now using container homes to provide modern, low maintenance accommodation for short or long-term guests. They're cleaner, quieter and more comfortable than traditional cabins- and they look great too.
Pop-up shops & commercial use
Want to take your business mobile? Use a container unit as a:
- Retail kiosk
- Food stall
- Mobile salon
- Barbershop
- Art studio or showroom
With one of our empty JULIET units, you have a blank space that you can easily turn into a functional space.
