We at VALLEY BORIS INTERNATIONAL WLL (VBI) are proud to announce the completion of Bahrain's very first shipping container home.


As pioneers in transforming idle shipping containers into sustainable, modern living and working spaces, we saw an opportunity to showcase the potential of this building method on a residential project.


By reusing steel shipping containers that would otherwise sit unused, we are diverting waste from landfills and maximizing the lifespan of materials already in circulation. The inherent structure of containers makes for sturdy and durable building blocks that require minimal additional materials. This significantly reduces the carbon footprint of construction through minimized resource extraction and waste. In addition to the environmental sustainability merits, containers provide a cost-effective solution for housing. Their modular design allows for rapid assembly with minimal disruptions.


As the first of its kind in Bahrain, this container home sets the standard for innovative, sustainable and affordable development solutions.




At VALLEY BORIS INTERNATIONAL WLL, we took this a step further through thoughtful spatial planning, meticulous craftsmanship and finishes. Large windows and an open-concept layout ensure natural light and cross-ventilation, creating a comfortable home ambiance. Skylights, high-quality tiling and custom cabinetry complete the modern aesthetic. While utilizing industrial materials, careful craftsmanship transforms the end result into a warm, welcoming living space on par with traditional homes. Ongoing maintenance and energy costs are also lower than conventional buildings through superior insulation values.



As environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles become increasingly important, VALLEY BORIS INTERNATIONAL is actively working to innovatively transform the building industry.

Our expertise in high quality modular construction allows rapid deployment of fully-functioning commercial and retail spaces with minimal waste generation.


Whether offices, shops or mixed-use developments, we can scale this sustainable model to suit various needs.Looking ahead, there are endless design possibilities for the adaptive reuse of shipping containers in unique, beautiful ways.



We hope that this pioneering project inspires Bahraini and Middle Eastern developers, architects, builders and homeowners to embrace creativity with reused materials. Through our dedication to sustainability, quality craftsmanship and modular versatility, VALLEY BORIS INTERNATIONAL WLL (VBI) wants to revolutionize how buildings are envisioned in the kingdom.


We invite you to join us in this journey towards a cleaner, greener and more innovative built environment.
