Finding your home away from home
For those that think that they wouldn’t want to live in a dark, cold shipping container, check out these photos from a shipping container home built for a green street fair in Phoenix.
Costing less than $100,000, these eminently affordable shipping container homes from Upcycle Living can be built out of up to four shipping containers, are solar panel ready, and include a wide array of recycled and green accoutrements.
Yes, even Texas is getting in on the green movement. This sweet house in Houston was made from four used shipping containers, and looks nice and roomy.

Yeah, that’s a lot of words in that headline, but they’re all true. The geniuses at Alchemy Architects came up with weeHouses, which come in 10 standard options plus you can customize all you want. On top of that, pricing starts at only $65,000. The weeHouse may have moved to the top of my idea list!
Ecopods are from a Canadian company, and take the green refab shipping container living space to a new level. In addition to recycling the shipping container, the Ecopod also contains recycled rubber flooring and soya insulation, as well as integration with solar energy and a virtually maintenance free composting toilet. Plus you can completely seal up the Ecopod, protecting it from the elements (and vandalism). Heck, and they look great, too!

I’m amazed at this fantastic home – not only does it look great, but it’s made from shipping containers! I’m accustomed to seeing the squarishness of the containers, but this house just looks awesome. It’s probably too big to truly use as a cabin, but it does give me some ideas…
