The Sunset Cargotecture House, Seattle: Home Sweet Container

Built and designed by an Architecture in Seattle as a Magazine “Idea House”, this 192-square-foot solar-powered? backyard container cottage is not even half the size of a New York City studio apartment.

Still, it manages to pack in a galley kitchen and micro bathroom with a ceiling-mounted?showerhead?? the floor?s redwood slats hide a drain ??? and can sleep up to four? (a bed unfolds from the wall, a couch converts, another bed can be added). But given the close quarters, it?s probably best if everyone?s related.

Look at the uses for Shipping Containers.

Recycled shipping containers are known to building designers and architects for their low cost and ease of use. They have been used in the construction of home, housing developments, offices and commercial space for several years already, but there?s a new segment of architecture coming out of the woodwork to take advantage of this unique material: lodging and education facilities. Both are typically concerned with price and with the ease of installation of any new facilities, and shipping containers meet their requirements. These school, hotel and community center designs all take advantage of the many benefits offered by steel cargo containers.

Storage Container ‘caboose’s’ that will be used as a science laboratory and living quarters.

Performing well during the tests out on the ice, the time has now come for the support team to leave Crown Bay on the SA Agulhas leaving the ice team on their own with only the thoughts of the challenge ahead.

Built on sledges that will be pulled behind the expedition, 2 – 30ft containers will provide the living space and vital protection from the element, whilst another 30ft container will be the moving science lab that will seek to make a decisive contribution to understanding the effect on climate change upon the poles.

We are delighted to be able to support the world’s greatest living explorer, and his talented team in the hope that they will be complete the last great polar challenge for such a wonderful cause.

The 2,000 mile trek across the continent begins in March and is seeking to raise $10 million for Seeing is Believing, an international initiative to tackle avoidable blindness as well as collecting key data to help us understand the effects of climate change.

We will keep you updated on their progress here but to find out more about the expedition or to donate check out the official expedition website.

University of Colorado Solar Decathlon House.

In the late 2007 Solar Decathlon, students from the University of Colorado had a beautiful entry to show off: this beautiful energy-efficient home built around existing shipping containers. The group?s goal was to shift conventional thinking about both construction and energy consumption. By making the home more efficient, they eliminated the need to heat and cool it at the perimeter, instead relying on an HVAC system only at the core of the house. Because of its energy efficiency and its use of recycled building materials, this design seems like a viable environmentally-friendly home for the future.

Storage Containers are always with a great purpose.

New ones and single trip containers for re-sale and storage were few and far between but that changed a few years back and re-sale of new containers became mainstream. The recession has made everyone resourceful and we are finding new opportunities.? Suddenly we are finding many more containers available on sites like e-bay as people either go out of business or look to cash in on assets that are no longer needed.? We have found ourselves buying back many that we have sold previously ? and thankfully most of them are still in good nick!? A credit to our painters.? We like to keep a range in stock so we are just as happy to buy back a used unit as we are to buy in new ones ? depending on customer requirements.? Whatever type of unit we supply we try to make sure it meets our customers requirements at the right price.
