With the environment in mind, the Cargominium construction offers an ingenious eco-friendly design that is both storm resistant and lavish.  Each Cargominium frame will be constructed of 100% recycled steel and equipped with energy efficient appliances. While the Cargominium can work in almost any climate, it is most advantagous in warm sunny climates in remote locations. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cargominium Project transforms used shipping containers into secluded island homes.  The islands have been a difficult place to build due to supply, labor, weather, and energy problems.  However, with the Cargominium this all has changed.  The Cargominium’s design and building process, overcomes all four traditionally burdensome elements of island building.

 

 

 

 

 

Over the next couple of weeks Cargominium.com will be completed with floor plans, discussions, proposals, and aditional information that fully explains the Cargominium Project. Until the site is completed, please find this proposal as a helpful device in understanding more about The Caribbean Cargominium Project.

 

What makes the proposed process unique?

While projects involving the development of shipping container communities result in urban housing available at less than the price of traditional residential units with similar square footage, the true potential of shipping container housing has yet to be explored. Cargominium founder, Bryan Bartels, designed the prototype luxury Caribbean Cargominium. The unique design of the container retains the integrity of a fully prefabricated shipping container during transport; then allows for the conversion to a fully functional luxury Caribbean Cargominium within just a few months. Furthermore, the fully assembled Cargominium can be secured at the first sign of hazardous weather and provide unparalleled protection for this island investment.

 

This system allows a fully sustainable residence to be constructed at even the most remote sites in less time and less cost than traditional building processes. The prefabrication of the Cargominium resolves the conflict that exists between the dream of the peaceful island lifestyle and the realization that the sought after island time extends to the island's construction personnel which often leads to building delays. Additionally, the traditional fears in purchasing a foreign constructed home are not unfounded. With unregulated or nonexistent building codes and lax product health standards, many foreign constructed residences can result in undetected or expensive health concerns and structural integrity issues. The fears invoked by the use of inferior or dangerous products can be soothed by the Cargominium. As a result, a Cargominium purchaser can rest assured that their Caribbean dream home will not turn into an environmental or poorly constructed nightmare.
