Somehow I was distracted online and discovered that in the recent movement to create environmentally friendly affordable housing, there is a booming trend of using old shipping crates. You know, those cars on the train, or the things on the semis. Apparently it is cheaper for shipping companies to build new shipping crates than to pay to have the crates returned. Although that seems strange, it leaves a lot of excess shipping crates that can be bought cheap, and are now being utilized for housing. Check it.
A little house.
Because the shipping containers are metal they are structurally very strong and can be stacked while still remaining stable. Nice apts!
Or a classy large house like this.
If I ever have money, and ever want to settle down, I am definitely considering building one like this. Recycled and cheap! Just my style.
