Resolution 4's small lot prefab

When we last looked at a modern prefab from Resolution 4, we got a particularly loud round complaints about it being a big second home and therefore not very green. Visiting Joe Tanney in his New York office, I asked if he had anything small, green and urban that I could show and not take so much abuse?

Joe explained that while they build their work in a factory to get the advantages of prefabrication, they act as traditional architects, designing for particular clients' budget, site and needs. Their projects therefore cover a wide range of sizes and degrees of green-ness, because everyone is different.

If you are considering modular or prefab home, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at.

Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND? ARCHITECTURE.

Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles...

Cool vid.

Fuck the imperial system. Go metric!

Ohh, and go green. Peace.
