Shipping Container Homes by Container City

thanks for posting this

true 2x.

I want to build this for LIFE SCHOOL in Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. What a marvelous idea!

and there is housing crisis why? Affordable housing is all people want, and normal people don't want that much space, just somewhere they can feel safe, warm, them and their things secure. That's all. Developers and city planners, politicians don't seem to get it. All they want is huge homes built at inflated prices, (owned by private bank cartels) fancy yet ugly, a few ppl living in them, lotsa pollution, condo towers for middle rich class.
build these, treat them like real homes=solution

It's all about the margin. If building four $500,000 houses yields $200,000 in net profit, and building twenty $100,000 houses yields $150,000 in net profit, then the developer is going to build the more expensive houses (assuming demand is the same).

I live in Russia and I only saw temporary container houses (no sanitation). They're common at construction sites. Making full-scale houses of containers is a great idea. Also, round windows ate cute.

the problem is land value and service connection, building the house is cheap this is no solution to anything

Novartis and Proteus Biomedical are not the only companies hoping to implant microchips into patients so that their pill-popping habits can be monitored. VeriChip of Delray Beach, Fl.,: an implanted chip links to an online database containing all your medical records, credit history social security ID.
new national identity database Social Security and NationalCreditReportcom. The VeriMed Health
( microchip cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug ) , private online database personal health record.

what does this have to do with containers?

This is an incredibly ingenious idea. And the recycling aspect is even better! I hope that more architects will consider the medium soon!
