Sleeping in a container?! – Container house trend from practicality to luxury

Containers do not only function as stand-alone unit modules: by combining several of them, you can also create houses, hotels, retail units and other points of sale. As accommodation, they combine architectural creativity with modern design to make them not only practical, but also very fashionable and particularly attractive. Their functionality and aesthetic appeal will be designed to meet today’s needs, while taking into account the importance of environmental protection and sustainability: energy saving and the use of natural materials will be a key design consideration.

On the road to the Síkfőkút lakes, over a picturesque gully, shipping container accommodation floats as if it were part of the landscape. In the container houses of the Nomád Hotel & Glamping in Noszvaj, you can truly find tranquillity and inspiration in the embrace of nature, while being pampered with all the luxuries of exclusive accommodation. The elegant Scandinavian-style containers are fully equipped and offer not only comfort, but also a stunning panoramic view over the vast terrace, with lake views and amazing birdsong. The price of the accommodation includes a special Nomád breakfast, and from spring to autumn, guests can also use the sauna and swimming pool. The container house is a great choice for families or groups of friends who want to relax and recharge their batteries in a unique and comfortable environment in nature.

Kalandpart Camping, the nearest accommodation to the Lake Tisza Experience Village, invites those who would like to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind for an adventure close to nature. The container houses in the woodland are ideal for forest schools, hiking groups or even anglers. The buildings can accommodate up to 8 people and offer relaxation in the peace and quiet of nature, with comfortable bunk beds in the sleeping area. It is also worth exploring the surrounding area: the nearby Aquaglide Water Playground promises adventure-packed fun, while the EgyélSarudit! Bistro offers delicious snacks. If you are looking for a special taste experience, we recommend the 4-season Sulyom Landscape Restaurant.

Last, but not least, we have brought you an odd one out: a container house solution designed for revival, in the form of The Rusty Coffee Box. The café, transformed from a shipping container, combines a quality coffee experience with excellent views and premium facilities on the High Coast of Akarattya. In this natural setting, you can enjoy the great morning smell of coffee undisturbed. The speciality of the café, apart from its design, is that it does not serve the usual dark-toned coffee, but a special flavour that preserves and reflects the characteristics of the different coffee growing areas. The baristas pay special attention to every detail in order to preserve the distinctive flavours and character of the land, so that a coffee arrives on the table that reflects the careful work of the farmer and the growing region.

These examples illustrate how container houses can open up new opportunities in the world of hospitality, taking advantage of the small footprint, cost-effective and environmentally friendly nature of the solution. The container house trend is likely to be an exciting new addition to the market for many years to come, and every year, we see more and more new initiatives, so if you are feeling adventurous and want to try a new experience, container houses are for you!
