About Us
At ARK Container Homes, we know firsthand the challenges of losing everything to storms and the frustrations of constant home maintenance. That’s why founders, Joshua Clark and John Hubert, combined their decades of expertise in sustainable construction and property management to create virtually indestructible, maintenance-free homes.
Our mission: to provide homes that stand the test of time, delivering unmatched durability, comfort, and peace of mind.
From the Louisiana bayou to the harshest environments on Earth, our container homes are built to last—and built for you.
JOSHUA CLARK has overseen durable, sustainable housing construction on five continents, from the Louisiana bayou to Africa to the Mojave Desert to the Yukon. A decade after helping hundreds of people who lost their homes to Hurricane Katrina (and documenting them in his award-winning memoir Heart Like Water), Clark lost his own home in Hurricane Ida. He set out to rebuild something that would last generations, that could take the worst of wind and water and anything else mother nature threw at it. And yet also feel like a true home, something luxurious, a little rustic, and timeless.
An outspoken advocate for saving Louisiana’s wetlands, Clark’s writing has appeared in newspapers and magazines across the world, including The Wall Street Journal and Consumer Affairs, and he served as a correspondent for National Public Radio. A film and music producer, and bestselling author, his books have been translated into 15 languages. He received an Economics degree from Yale University. When he’s not overseeing the construction of container homes, he spends as much time as he can on his bayou property, living off-grid.
JOHN HUBERT, an actor and musician with a worldwide following, began his career in property management as a teenager, through lawn care. Within a few years, he became #1 nationwide in New Customer Development at Tru Green Lawn Care. So he opened his own lawn care company, expanding to power equipment sales and service, as well as landscape and nursery divisions. He added Christmas tree sales and decoration divisions, firewood, and selling and servicing golf carts. The golf carts took off, literally and figuratively. Kaddy Shack Kustom Kartz was born. His company used licensed molds of actual ’34 Fords, ’53 Corvettes, Jeeps and Hummers and dropped them over the carts, turning them into “Neighborhood Electric Vehicles.” The tax incentives the government first gave John were lucrative, but also his company’s demise. Because they drove Chrysler, General Motors, and Honda into the market, crushing his small business.
So he gave his childhood dream (music) another shot. After touring the world as the singer for three different heavy metal bands, he made movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Matt Dillon, William Defoe, and others. While John still acts to this day, he’s also heavily invested in real estate in Louisiana, which led him to meet his good friend and business partner, Joshua Clark.
Together, after decades of owning and managing properties, they became exhausted by the never-ending maintenance, repairs and renovations a typical home needs. They vowed to be spend more money and time actually enjoying life instead. So they worked with architects, designers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and welders, to create virtually maintenance-free and invincible homes – ARK Container Homes was born!
