20 ft Multi Container Accommodation, - mYPad, Forest YMCA, - Brighton, UK,

mYPads are containerised units that are being converted into affordable homes for Forest YMCA residents to rent at a rate of 30% of minimum wage. They can be delivered to any empty site and be ready for use straight away.

In June 2012, the first two prototype homes were delivered to our site in Forest Road. Staff and visitors have been testing them for tempreature, noise levels and general comfort. The feedback will inform the design of the final working models.

2x 40ft Shipping Container Home, - Sarah House Project, - Glendale, Salt Lake City, Utah

2x 40ft Shipping Container Home, - Sarah House Project, - Glendale, Salt Lake City, Utah

The Sarah House Project is a mostly one-man effort to build a small home out of two 8 by 40-foot shipping containers.
Jeffrey White is adding something new to the mix. Something unexpectedly stylish. Shipping containers.
White's house is 672 square feet.
White estimates the cost of the project, including the land, at $108,000 - $115,000. This, he says, is close to the cost of a conventional home and is higher than he expected, but White hopes he'll be able to bring those numbers down in future.
"I would love this house to come somewhere in the $60,000 - $75,000 range," White said.
The Crossroads Urban Center will eventually sell the home to a low-income single or couple

40ft Shipping Container School, - LaunchPads, Infinite Family, - Johannesburg, South Africa,


Perkins+Will, in collaboration with Atelier Ten, volunteered their time to design the first environmentally sustainable mentoring module. Called LaunchPad, it uses a repurposed shipping container for the Infinite Family initiative in Sub-Saharan Africa where millions of children grow up without the influence of adults. Amy Stokes, the program’s founder, wants to change this.
Infinite Family’s first LaunchPad mentoring lab opened in August 2012, in Alexandra township, north of Johannesburg. Their plan is to open one hundred LaunchPads over the next five years, serving more than 11,000 children. Rendering courtesy Perkins+Will.
The first LaunchPad in Alexandra is made out of a 40 ft shipping container and was designed to be safe, secure, energy-efficient, self-sustaining, and as environmentally sensitive as possible. A wall of recycled water bottles serves as thermal mass to provide cooling inside. A solar canopy on top provides shade in order to reduce heat gain and windows are strategically placed in locations that respond to site conditions for optimum orientation to the sun and prevailing breezes, which provide natural daylight and ventilation. Inside, the space is divided into open areas and cellular spaces for different activities. The container is also equipped with a photovoltaic system and battery backup to make sure the laboratory can operate on its own if the grid goes down
