With customizable layouts and ultra-modern designs, our office pods redefine the concept of working from home—offering professionals a dedicated and inspiring environment that seamlessly blends with their surroundings.

Utility Pods

Merging Functionality with Sustainability

The integration of utility pods into container home designs showcases our commitment to maximizing functionality without compromising on sustainability. These pods complete with a semi-private bedroom, plumbing-ready two piece powder room and enough space for you to install a second fold down bed, an eating nook or kitchenette depending on your needs. By consolidating these functions into dedicated spaces within repurposed shipping containers, we minimize resource usage and reduce the overall environmental impact of housing construction. Remote and semi remote staff housing needs are at the forefront of use groups interested in the Utility Pod, as it provides the perfect, instant solution to staff accommodation, when and where you need it! 

Sustainability at the Core

One of the key factors driving the popularity of container homes is their inherent sustainability. West Coast Container Homes takes this commitment to a new level by repurposing shipping containers, giving them a new lease on life! The use of recycled materials significantly reduces the carbon footprint of these homes, aligning with the eco-conscious ethos of British Columbia. We also incorporate energy-efficient features, and other green initiatives into our designs, ensuring that residents not only live stylishly but also leave a minimal impact on the environment.
