Why Choose Container Living?
Affordability That Makes Sense
Arborlon homes cost significantly less than conventional builds—both upfront and long-term. Their corrosion-resistant structure and durable finishes reduce ongoing maintenance, making them a smart financial choice.
Rapid Installation
These are true prefabricated solutions. Once delivered to site, an Arborlon expandable home can be installed and ready for use in as little as one day, depending on foundation and services.
Sustainability by Design
Built using recycled shipping containers, Arborlon homes support eco-friendly upgrades such as:
Solar power systems
Rainwater harvesting
Off-grid configurations
This makes them well suited to remote locations and sustainability-focused developments.
Flexible, Custom Layouts
With the bathroom as the only fixed element, internal layouts are highly adaptable. Bedrooms, living spaces, kitchens, and work areas can all be configured to suit your lifestyle or project requirements.

Matte or textured finishes
Modern, industrial, or minimalist styles
Subtle neutrals or bold statement colours
Custom finishes may incur a surcharge and are engineered for durability in demanding climates.
