A first for Bow Valley housing is being regarded as an affordable option within pricey mountain communities.

As six sea can containers were lowered onto screw piles and locked into place this past February on a lot in Exshaw, there was curiosity as to what was springing up in the Municipal District of Bighorn hamlet

The modular home, after all, is the first of its kind in the Bow Valley.

A single sea can, or shipping container, is a closed cell, high cube, steel structure of eight by 40 feet (320 square feet) that can carry up to 47,000 pounds.

Sea cans are one of the pieces in a building phase that could potentially lead to providing an affordable housing option in the Bow Valley, said Chuck Lemieux, owner and president of Blocks Container Structures, which put the modular house together.

A pair of newlyweds are embracing an unconventional approach to home ownership by building their dream house out of shipping containers amid sky-high building costs and a challenging real estate market.

The Flowerpot couple tied the knot in November 2022 and wanted to see how far they could get building a home with a small budget and a bit of DIY.

They hope to inspire other young Tasmanians trying to break into the housing market.

“This was a good opportunity for us to have a beautiful home, in the location we want without the massive expenses that come with a traditional build,” owner Kiara Rolf said, “It’s been a pretty awesome journey and adventure to go on with your partner.”
