We design and deliver premium modular architecture for hospitality, real estate and private living across Europe.
Repurposed shipping containers, transformed through Italian design and manufacturing.
CREATED FOR
Different ambitions.
One modular approach.
HOW WE WORK
7 PHASES
From early feasibility to final handover, FDAG leads the architectural process and coordinates the specialist teams required to bring the project to life.
OFF GRID
Where the project calls for it, photovoltaic generation, battery storage and energy-management systems can be integrated into the development, supporting highly efficient and potentially off-grid configurations.
01
Photovoltaic generation
02
Battery storage
03
Energy management
Energy systems developed in partnership with Mobile Energy System Incorporated
where we deliver
From Italy, across Europe
We develop modular architecture for projects across Europe, coordinating design, production and delivery through a network of specialized partners.
Project feasibility is assessed according to local regulations, site conditions and logistics.

Do I need building permits for a container home?
Every location has its own regulations when it comes to container construction. We take care of checking all local requirements for you and handle the entire permitting process from start to finish, ensuring your project is 100% compliant before construction begins.
How long does it take to build?
Our container homes are designed for fast-track construction. From the moment the design is approved, it usually takes just a few months to complete the build, which is drastically shorter than traditional construction timelines.
Can you deliver anywhere?
Yes, we work internationally. Depending on the project’s location and logistics, we can either modify and prepare the containers directly on-site or deliver them already transformed and ready to be assembled locally. This flexibility allows us to adapt to different transportation constraints and site conditions while ensuring the same high-quality standards.
What is the price range for a container home?
The cost of a container home depends on several factors, including size, layout, materials, and custom finishes. We provide an initial estimated budget after the first consultation.
How are containers optimized for living?
Through thoughtful design, containers are transformed into comfortable, high-end homes. Each unit is carefully insulated for thermal and acoustic performance, equipped with advanced systems for energy efficiency, and finished with refined materials that elevate the living experience. Our goal is to create luxury NZEB homes, where sustainability meets elegance. Thanks to the inherent modularity of containers, these spaces can also grow over time-allowing your home to expand and adapt seamlessly to your future needs.
Do you provide 3D renders and VR previews?
Yes, and not only for our own projects. We also offer these as standalone services, providing photorealistic renders and immersive VR walkthroughs for clients, architects, and developers who want to visualize their spaces before construction.
How can I start working with you?
