For a couple of years now, I have been captivated by the idea of using shipping containers, those steel boxes used to ship goods across oceans, as building blocks for houses. They are readily available in our area and are designed to be stacked full up to 5 high without additional structure and be water tight.
This drawing is one of many testing an idea about lining up a series of 40 foot and 20 foot containers into a single home.
