A council has enlisted the help of contractors to create new temporary accommodation out of shipping containers.
The homes have been designed to meet the same buildings standards as traditionally constructed affordable housing out of shipping containers.
The scheme, funded by Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government’s Innovative Housing Programme, will see Cadwyn Housing Association work alongside Willis Construction, Tony King Architects and Lion Containers to build the 13 new homes.
Work is due to start on the site this month. There will be seven two-bedroom homes, comprising a 40ft and a 20ft container, and six one-bedroom homes, made from a 40ft container.
