Architectural Renderings House-Fascinating Shipping Container Village For Haiti

Haitian Canadian musician Luck Mervil is the men behind the Montreal organization Vilaj Vilaj, which wants to use 900 shipping containers to build an entirely new village west of Port-au-Prince fit for 5,000 people. He help to rebuild Haiti with houses made from repurposed shipping containers. His organization purposed to build sustainable and long-term housing in Haiti with the help of local Haitians.

The new village will be built on a parcel of previously uninhabited land near Leogane, a coastal city west of Port-au-Prince. He expects the entire community to cost around $25 million and has been ardently working to raise the funds. A prototype shipping container house was built in Canada worth between $8,000 – $10,000.


But Mervil expects the cost to be much lower in Haiti.

With this plan, the village will consist of  of 900 shipping containers grouped together in a grid and separated by open space, parks, and playing fields. Both 40 and 20 foot containers will be used to construct durable, long-term and hurricane and earthquake resistant homes. Each home will offer roughly 320 sq feet of living space with running water and bathrooms.

The village will also be self-sufficient, with space for companies to set up shop so that villagers can work and support themselves.
