2 x Shipping Containers, - The Container Restaurant, - Durango, Colorado,

Ska opened The Container in August. The Container takes the form of two industrial shipping containers attached to the south side of Ska’s brewery, 225 Girard St. in Bodo Industrial Park. The bottom container serves as the kitchen and walk-in cooler, with one side open to the indoor tasting room and the other facing the outdoor beer garden. The top container, equivalent to the brewery’s second floor, provides seating exposed to the elements.

Multi Shipping Container Home, - Atira Women’s Resource, - Alexander Street, Vancouver, Canada,

Multi Shipping Container Home, - Atira Women’s Resource, - Alexander Street, Vancouver, Canada,

An affordable housing complex built from a dozen old shipping containers was unveiled in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

The 12 shipping containers on Alexander Street near Jackson Avenue have been converted into apartments by the Atira Women's Resource Society, which bought a lot on the block in 2009. The first shipping container was dropped on the lot at the end of November, and each unit cost $82,500 to build.

The 320-square-foot containers have been stacked three high and feature 290 square feet of living space. Each unit has its own private bathroom, kitchen and in-suite laundry. The homes also have floor-to-ceiling windows, and each floor is linked by an external staircase.

12 Shipping Container Home, - Caterpillar Residence, - Lo Barnechea, Santiago de, Chile,

12 Shipping Container Home, - Caterpillar Residence, - Lo Barnechea, Santiago de, Chile,

Santiago Dramatically backs up to the Andes Mountains, and a growing number of affluent residents are heading for the foothills in search of fresh air and green space. To limit urban sprawl, no construction is permitted above 1,000 meters. Naturally, That benchmark has Become a desirable location, and the local architect Sebastian Irarrázaval has joined other architects in building houses That respond to the challenging topography. His latest, constructed out of shipping containers, has been dubbed the Caterpillar House (House Track), for the way its elongated volumes tilt up and down the steeply sloping site.
The house uses raw steel and exposed concrete in the same direct way Irarrázaval employed them for a design school I built in 2010, at Chile's Pontifical Catholic University. "I want to do That buildings are simple and strong," I Explains. I Became fascinated With The structural potential of shipping containers When I designed a pavilion for the Chilean Biennale in 2000. For the event, I have containers stacked four high and cut away the fronts to frame various architectural exhibits. Since then, I've developed the concept on a smaller scale with two houses. Caterpillar House, though, carries the notion much Further by utilizing 12 containers in a richly varied composition where every room is open to light and air.

15 Shipping Container Home, - Drouin and Sanchez, Estaque, - Marseille, France,

french architects claire helene drouin and jean marie sanchez have designed their
house in marseille, france built with 15 recycled shipping containers. the recently
completed residence is built into a cliff facing the port of the seaside city.

maison conteneur à l'Estaque Marseille
Nous avons décidé il y a quelques temps de construire notre maison. Rien de plus banal en temps de crise tant financière qu'environnementale. Après discussions et vu l'environnement (nous sommes face au port autonome de Marseille, plein sud) une solution aussi étrange qu'économique s'imposa : "Et si on construisait sur la base de conteneurs ! ". Une précision, elle est architecte, il est comédien tchatcheur ! Passionnés tout les deux d'urbanisme, de mémoire des lieux et de petites histoires humaines.
Ce blog est consacré à la construction pratique et inventive de "notre maison conteneur" aux portes de l'Estaque, à  Mourepiane.
