  • I was hoping to see a real house you've built. Not a computer generated video of a concept home. FAIL

  • What about how they look from the outside ? unless you bury them (wich would make an awesome house) have you got some good designs ?Cause all the ones Ive seen its like they spent all their creativity inside, and they still look like an ugly container from the outside, witch is really easily avoided - f.ex.put 4 containers in a square, build some nice concrete corners, and let one beam from each inner corner meet in the top center to form a pyramid shaped roof that covers the open center square

  • @ikaruseijin01 burried shipping containers? a great place to grow some herb.

  • @Search4diabetescure Some folks even bury the containers, just to confuse you more.

    You could mix and match, I could see where shipping containers could be used in an earthship style house, but with rammed earth or super adobe for the structures that would unite the containers.

    Ultimately it's up to you to find the best solution, so best of luck.

  • @ikaruseijin01 - Thank you very much for your input. It is certainly very helpful. I am looking at different options of house building including Eco-Tire Dwellings, Container Dwelling, Underground Dwelling, and Mini-House A La Japanese dwelling. I am so confused by all the options.

  • @Search4diabetescure You can stack as many as 7 containers on top of each other with no additional support when they're on the transport ship... and probably more, although the shipping agencies won't recommend it. So trust me, they won't have a problem with snow on the roof.

    As for insulation, you have a point, there would have to be some sort of insulation, probably closed cell foam applied either internally or externally to make it habitable.

  • what about planning permission?

  • Not made for heavy snow, ice and sub-zero degrees temperature.

  • Lot's of sharp 90 degrees Right Angels.

  • sweet. BoC
