Shipping containers deliver
With prefab houses failing to deliver to those who are looking for affordable modern architecture shipping containers have stepped up. People have been talking about it for a while. I used to anxiously read over at fab prefab in the shipping container section waiting for someone to actually build. It seemed like lots of people talked, but very few were actually doing anything. Luckily times are changing. This six pack from Atlanta Georgia has recently gone up and is looking good. Not the best container design I’ve seen (it lacks a little creativity) but the build price is rumored to be around $75 sq/ft, which is awesome.
Head on over to Materialicious to read more about it.
