Shipping container prefab - not just for shipping stuff?

Jump to Comments

Treehugger: “Proponents of modern prefab are always lamenting 1) the strop that manufacturers throw when you ask for a house without old-school traditional charm, and 2) the problem of getting the house from factory to site. Converting standard 20- or 40-foot shipping containers into housing gets round both snags: the containers are already fabricated, and the infrastructure for transporting them (duh—stick ’em on the back of a truck or on a boat, or even a train) already exists.”
