Doesn’t look very earthquake resistant. Also, where’s the architecture?

Looks cool to me. They’re reusing material so it’s environmentally friendly. Pretty hip. Wonder what it’s like inside them though.

I wish we could have had some pictures of the inside. The idea of a dorm with a balcony is awesome.

@sofar:
in the Netherlands we don’t “do” earthquakes. :), but as each house would be an metal stack 5 high shipping container i think it’s a step up from drywall.

I can understand the initial appeal of wanting to live in some hobo-opolis but once the novelty wears thin and the romance is all but gone you’ll be pining for a 3500 sq ft beige box with central heating in a subdivision .

There’s a movie from Finland about a community of people living in shipping containers — Man Without a Past.
