Designer Builds Home Out Of Shipping Containers - Hatteberg's People TV

[lipa90]

SHE IS HOT

[TheGamerOnWii]

Lol im planning on living in one of these... I mean one container.

[WatsupBroh]

I really like container homes. The only thing is that they don't fit in (aesthetically) in traditional neighborhoods. If building a container home, I see it as being built on a large piece of land rather than in the burbs between homes.

[shippingcontainers01]

Loved this video! Great use of Shipping Containers!

[roygbiv2411]

I want one, accept built underground ready for when the apocalypse happens.

[omni101]

MILF



[flowboard04]

This is simply awesome I'm going to make one

[nhprman]

The house is beautiful and yes, that shower head is AMAZING!

[hidefanlovely]

She obviously believes in the liberal green bull hockey.

But it is a nice home and well designed. But the real real question is IS IT ZOMBIE PROOF???

[JonO387]

@hidefanlovely Can you be that fucking stupid?

[fawnication]

I want to bone her in a shipping container :D

[dards4444]

I have been in a couple of these houses, they're pretty cool. I'm not sure about the big savings.

[wow85]

@dards4444 Their economical in many ways from a cool design to natural lighting. She probably used recycled materials for interior, natural lighting which would cut down on electricity usage as well as solar panels can be installed on the rooftops. If she wanted to move to a bigger property, she can buy, disconnect the utilities there & move the containers to her new property. U also have to look at she can expand by buying more containers.

[wow85]

@dards4444 U also have to look at how much it costed her per square foot it would cost. Like building 2000 square ft. probably would have cost her alot more money to build from wood rather than using shipping containers. Also to cut the steel for windows & door ways to allow natural lighting also cuts down on electricity during the daytime. These containers probably cost a couple of thousand each to buy, but if u can afford it u can make expansions alot cheaper than wood.

[aragon667]

@hugobossdb it uses less wood which is the point of these

[PauliesCustoms]

7 people suck.

[BelloBudo007]

In the future when a ship goes sailing by.........I'll see homes.

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

I have to wonder though, if living inside a shipping container wouldn't be equivalent to a sauna. I can't imagine a steel container even with windows, would be cool in the summertime.

[shkspeerx]

@TheKrystahlPhoenix That's why most use refrigerated units which are insulated and can be modified with central air for the climates that need them. There are moisture a/c units in the desert that could be used to get away from conventional a/c, but living in a fair climate would be preferable, as well.

[shkspeerx]

@TheKrystahlPhoenix BTW, I lived in Texas in a timber/brick home and it's an oven in the summer without a/c, too. I've lived along the West Coast with only ceiling fans near the ocean during the summer, so it's possible provided you can find the right area. In places like El Paso, TX, they use moisture units in apartment complexes. So it all depends on what you are willing to use and where you decide to live.

[laztek1]

NDAA would label her a terrorist if passed as law. its unconstitutional like crazy though so if it does we have to kill the gov for treason .

[MrDeerhunter3006]

and she prolly has a million dollar house

[matthewsmyth1001]

but not gud in summber it too hot the metal get too hot and inside get too hot and paint on inside wall or timber go on fire very eassy

[khepraseti]

@matthewsmyth1001 Modern Insulation or Air conditioner will help

[BigHeadFarm]

It's funny that the description says, "...designer believes that her kind of 'future think' may have answers that the rest of the world can use...". "May have answers"? Lady, the world has been using shipping containers to make homes for 30 or 40 years - you're "cutting edge thinking" is cutting the edge of 1970. Cutting edge FAIL.

[OddTimeMan]

Why do so many of the designs for these container homes have long skinny rooms? Weld 2 containers together and open up the inside walls to make bigger living spaces!

[Anothercoilgun]

Incredible lady.

[kottagervparkmodelrv]

Good Design! There are many ways to build a home out of a shipping container. We have one on our channel. Ours is made in Canada. Any Canadians watching this video?

[privatepersonalc]

Brillant!

[billhinchliff]

I love this home. Check out our site kat5homes when you have a minute.

[parasitesarefunny]

Sounds and looks like they did not really insulate it much

[PHANTOMSLAYER7]

Why is this person allowed to build these, but for everyone else, it is a pain is the "A" of zoning impediments?

[Search4diabetescure]

Gorgeous house. Debbie, you did a great job.

This is perhaps the best advertising piece for BNIM.

[JDRgoddess]

I want that shower head!!!! Does any one know where to get it?

[geektella]

@JDRgoddess Pollenex DP1006 Extended Cylinder Tubes Shower Head <(copy and search on Amazon)

it literally took me 2 mins to find!

[podup365]

I like the layout and design of the interior, however I grow weary of designers and architects who decide to build a structure from shipping containers and fail to make exterior structure look similar to other structures in the same area. Just because it's made of shipping containers, doesn't need to "look" like it was made from them at first glance. This affects the perception of neighbors and resale value of it and other structures nearby.

[beeboo61]

I'm building a house half straw bale n the other 6 large containers I'm a builder so I no the cheap stuff it's all bout the recycled materials....its gonna come down 200.000 I've also got 100.000 just in case I go OVA....can't wait..!if it was all wood it would be in it's 4000.000s..!

[SuperAaaaa123456]

cost of single container??

any one?

[TheCashistrash]

@SuperAaaaa123456 about 1500-2000 US dollars per NEW container. for a 9 1/2 X40X8 foot container I am thinking about building one myself in a few more years. The best way to go is link minimum 6-10 cointainers and have a real nice home and the cost looks is about half of typical home contruction.

[Search4diabetescure]

@TheCashistrash = $16,000 to $20,000. Then the material and labour of making the containers into living space will be additional costs. How much do you imagine it will cost for the additional expenses on top of the raw containers?

[SpeedyMarie]

@SuperAaaaa123456 Check on Craigslist. Used ones are generally between $1000-$3000 but there are so many variables (size, quality, insulated or not, delivery) that there's not really a fair, world wide going rate.

[extreamexgamer]

@SuperAaaaa123456 my gp got one for 2,500 off craigslist

[mikemulatto]

You what ever the comments here, all I can say is that your house is awesome and those who criticize it, just wish that they thought this for them selves, hope you will keep up the good work and making more houses for other people And make another video, to show that you have a great idea and an inspiration to those who want to have a beautiful house like yours that can stand the test of time, I'll be waiting for the other videos, God speed

[RoberTastic]

would love to build one of these, but dealing with the permit nazis would suck

[soco13466]

@hugobossdb Whatever.

[soco13466]

@hugobossdb I plan to build such a home. I know how to fabricate steel framing, basically all the work needed, and in the end, I'll have a house that's stronger than a stick built, for way less money. I'm not a "poodle," who needs Mr. Goodwrench to do everything. I think modular, and containers are modules. You don't seem to have thought it out.

[malachy1847]

@soco13466 Another way to go would be S.I.P Panels designed to be bolted onto a 'Box section' Metal structure...

.

[kblazz]

i wonder if the material will ever decay

[Soundgarden8497]

tits or gtfo

[randyseck]

@Soundgarden8497 ??? 

[Soundgarden8497]

@randyseck randy man, have u heard about the abyss?

[randyseck]

@Soundgarden8497 ???

[Soundgarden8497]

@randyseck the shit abyss

[joyride199]

very good house, but feels too exposed. feels like it would be a really cold house also, any insulation? nope:(

and the design like i said is awesome, but doesn't have that warmth of home, looks like office, with modern bland looks.

[tehatemachine]

there are better and cheaper methods besides using containers. 

[jag7720]

@tehatemachine - Like? Easy to make that statement. Give examples... we all want to know.

[tehatemachine]

@jag7720 Wood is one of those cheaper materials. Especially duglass fur. laminated woods are also cheaper. Hence why most homes in north america use it. But there can be cheaper methods to build houses constructed out of steel, Something similar to that in an assembly plant like what is seen with modulars. The houses can be mass produced, An certain components coupled with eachother(like legos so sizes and configurations can quickly be customized. It is similar to containers But is more spacious

[soco13466]

@tehatemachine Explain then.

[sandmonkey322]

@hugobossdb It's true, but at least they didn't make the same scale house with raw material. I agree though, I think the recycled and low embodied energy factors are what make them so useful.

The modular shape is what makes them cool too though, they remind me of legos in a way.

[Watson997f]

do they have good insulation?

[TheGreenfrog140]

O my God... very very nicely designed. cannot believe it.

[noblinger]

Great house but not a fan of the color. Good job Debbie.

[korgnewb777]

For an older woman she is gorgeous.

[romnsch13]

Ugliest house on the block. Fashon? style? YUCK!

[Mikdeelo]

@hugobossdb Exactly! she'll build whatever one wants, as long as money is no object and one just has to live in a metal container! And, oh no, I'd never know I was in a container... (her words, ;P)

Then conservation and housing the poor still goes wanting, as before...

They might as well grind them up, put the pieces in other containers and send them back to China to make more containers, so the corporations can ship us more plastic crap!

[ContainedMax]

1st comment here that isnt a huge comment

[MrAnthonyRizzo]

Personally I believe they look fabulous covered in stucco and painted a bright cheery blue with egg yolk yellow wood window shutters. Be creative people. The possibilities are endless.

[MrAnthonyRizzo]

This is a grave misunderstanding. Building with shipping containers is an idea that is yet to catch on nationally in the U.S, consequently architects and designers that are pushing this idea try to build showcase homes that show the outer structure of these shipping containers. However the shipping container need be nothing more than the shell of the home. It can be covered with any other outer surface that the owner would so desire. Anything from wood shingles to brick is possible.

[MrAnthonyRizzo]

Shipping Containers make great structural building blocks for the shell of any home. They are built to withstand the riggers of high seas transportation with as much as eight stacked high. Now translate that to a land based system and you have a shelter that is earthquake and all weather ready. I think most people make the mistake to assume that they have no other option when building with shipping containers than to have them look like what they are.

[GunslingerKenung]

*This is a Guess/Estimate May be false*

Well from a pure price standpoint of just the actually house materials (the containers) 5 of them purchased through ebay. (using an average of 4000 for each) would come out to 20,000$ for the containers. (each being 20 ft) So that all equals about 100 sq ft of space. Id say total price for everything else, windows, manual labor, cutting and etc. would probably be another couple thousand so i say the whole project could be done for 25,000$ unfurnished.

[notefromself]

To spend the energy, resources and money to have the containers heightened and shipped back to Brookside, to me, goes against the concept of building with shipping containers in the first place. Fail.

[DaniaOMGWania]

@hugobossdb Still saves some trees though... and gets rid of the containers

[dick117]

Looks great on the inside, but if I was a neighbor, I'd be pretty pissed about having to look at that thing.

[718JLP]

Would these homes stand up stronger to storms and natural disasters like hurricanes etc ?

[kalasend]

I wonder if a house like this is cheaper to build than building from scratch.

[hurcorh]

@kalasend one built in canada only cost $175,000 and the same house made of timber frame would have been $400,000

[TheGreenfrog140]

@hurcorh I agree but what about the land cost? and the permission from Municipal??

[TheGreenfrog140]

@TheGreenfrog140 what about equity?

[TheGreenfrog140]

@hurcorh that is awesome! its less then half. but how much is the land cost?

[hurcorh]

@TheGreenfrog140 not sure it did not say so im not sure if those costs i gave are including land prices or not. i assume not though. anyway, the cost of land would be the same either way you chose to build.

[BREST111169]

@hurcorh Pl geve me a compani contacts how can build et in Canada?! Contact me at ibogoslavets@yahoo.com

[myibmaccount]

@kalasend probably more.

[duongduyb]

so amazing .........................

[landasanrakan]

I love this very much! There is another lovely one in Malaysia, may find out "SMART GREEN HOME 2010" @ youtube to watch its making of!

[aminmoj1]

Residents might have the sense of being homeless or living in a tin caravan

[poppamonk]

I love this

[VRtechman]

Now she need to Design a Barbie dream house out of container like toys. That fold up into a suit-case.

[VRtechman]

There should be a website of container box home plans!

[miensean1]

How can i get the floor plan or the blueprint for this container house?

[ydevoto]

BEAUTIFUL !!!
