I would love to live in there.

I saw this Container building in Berlin some month ago.

Container buildings are a fascinating part of modern architecture. Maybe even of future Architecture.
in particular in times of “green movement”

This is great, one of the better shipping container modifications I have come across. Nice way to avoid sending containers to landfills while also providing an economically-sound housing opportunity.

Building with containers is worth taking a look at if you are contemplating a new home.

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

Lots of example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are the design build sort…

I thought that you guys and gals might like to know that I’ve just released my new book:
“Introduction to Container Homes and Buildings”. It’s a good look at what ISBU homes are, it addresses a lot of the “facts and fiction”, and it shows you some of my tricks and favorite floorplans, as I build affordable, sustainable, energy efficient ISBU homes for families across America. And the book is just as affordable, at $9.95. You can find more information about it on my blog!

I’m familiar with container homes here in southern California and the best resource I’ve found to date is a local architect, Peter DeMaria (www.demariadesign.com). Heard his lecture at UCLA, he is quite brilliant and also passionate about his work.

Love getting the updates here – always a little bit of inspiration within. Notice that it didn’t make your list, but a recent personal favourite of mine has been http://www.container-life.com – there have been a few projects there that I haven’t seen in the others on my blogrole so thought I’d pass it on.

Thanks for always giving me something worth checking out in my lunch break.
