Cordell Container Home by Christopher Robertson

This latest container home is designed by Christopher Robertson and built by Numan Construction and is a 1,858 square-foot home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. In addition to many green features, apparently the construction waste was able to be contained within ten contractor trash bags.

Bark Design All Terrain Cabin (ATC) Container Home

Canada's Bark Design Collective built the All Terrain Cabin (ATC) as a showcase for sustainable (and Canadian!) ingenuity. The small home is based on a standard shipping container, and is said to be suitable for a family of four, plus a pet, to live off the grid in comfort and style.

The cabin folds up to look like any old shipping container, and can be sent via rail, truck, ship, airplane, or even helicopter. When you're ready to rest your bones, the cabin quickly unfolds to 480 square feet of living space, with a range of creature comforts









Great Design, this is along my design lines, except for the cut out tent at rear

The two cabins are connected by a middle section loft and roof made out of "(3) 4 1/2" X 11 1/4" fir beams made up of (3) 2X12's thru bolted and glued" and a glass door entrance. The interiors are furred out and insulated with rigid foam clad with birch ply. The cabin is partially powered by solar power arrays and connected to a rainwater cistern making this building an ecologically sustainable vacation home.

Power Smart Advertising in Shipping Container

PR agency smak recently developed an advertising campaign for client Power Smart Month in British Columbia, Canada. These two green shipping container condos were especially organized as small living areas that may seem similar at a first glance, but in fact are differentiated by a major factor: energy consumption. One of the condos is wasteful, while the other is an example of energy efficiency.



Making use of a small space?
