As of an hour ago it was a front page news item on Yahoo!:
While a number of resourceful people have converted shipping containers into make-shift shelters at the margin of society for years, architects and green designers are also increasingly turning to the strong, cheap boxes as source building blocks.
Shipping containers can be readily modified with a range of creature comforts and can be connected and stacked to create modular, efficient spaces for a fraction of the cost, labor, and resources of more conventional materials.
They then highlight, with cool photos, 12 different homes made from shipping containers. We’ve mentioned this phenomenon in the past here and here.
I think I like the ATC (All-Terrain Cabin) and the Ecopods best.
