ARCHITECTURE OUT OF RETIRED SEA CARGO CONTAINERS
Being an import country, it is beneficial to be really, really creative to utilize the value of empty steel boxes sitting in our shipyards.
Airtight, watertight, stacking capabilities up to 9 tall. Very inexpensive. Use as retaining structures for downhill slopes.
All wonderful uses. Hurricane housing, homeless housing, dormitory housing, single family homes, apartments ....
Architects all over the world are catching on as well as simple but very passionate people everywhere who have strong and responsible eco mindsets. City and County development departments are relaxing their resistence.
The community of cargo-minded people is really really wonderful. Blogs (which we will post here soon), research data, contests.
Stay tuned to our work! Enjoy. The slideshow reflects various works of great architects and builders across the world.
