The cost of building a Tri-Cities home out of a shipping container is about one-fifth of conventional wood frame construction.

Architect Homeira Raviz was designing luxury hotels and homes in her native Iran before immigrating to Canada in 2009.

In 2019, Raviz expanded on just that idea. She founded Archimax to design, engineer and manufacture prefabricated homes out of shipping containers. The possibilities are endless, Raviz said, and cost about one-fifth of building conventional wood-frame housing. Put two containers together and you've got a 640 sq. ft. two-bedroom apartment. Align three side-by-side for a four-bedroom home and so on.

Doors and windows are cut to a standard width, so if an owner wants to expand their home by adding another container, a window space can be extended to become a doorway.
