When I can afford to build my own facility for a business that I want to start I would be really excited if I could build a facility using this design idea of cargo bins and sustainability so that I can not only be helping my customers, but can also be helping my planet. The only worry that comes to mind is cost, is it overall cheaper to construct buildings using cargo bins?

I have a dream of starting my own business and once I get enough money to build a facility from scratch I plan on hiring someone who can build it using cargo bins! I think it is a great creative and cool looking way to construct buildings…I do wonder on the prices of buying x amount of cargo bins under the assumption they aren\’t free.

[...] If you were to look up “mad genius” in the dictionary, you might find a picture of Adam Kalkin. One glance through his vast portfolio and it’s clear that this is not the work of an ordinary mind. The bulk of Kalkin’s large-scale work involves shipping containers and steel Butler buildings.

The possibilities are endless, the limitations are substantial. How many of us have a spare warehouse or airplane hanger available? I do like the container reuse because they are a hideous necessity for globalization.

Woah, i can ship my home anywhere! Imagine asking your child to “Go to your container!”. I wonder how does the water stay inside the toilet bowl though. Or maybe you’re supposed to unplug it from the sewers…

i love it. i have had dreams of what it would be like to make a home out of tractor trailer beds. you could put them in a square and have a 4 to 5 bedroom home with dividing one tractor bed into thirds and having 3 bedrooms and the one into thirds making 2 bedrooms (1 master bedroom with bath), and a bathroom and the other one a kitchen and the 4th as a window to show off the center of it all as a dining and livingroom area. some of the tractor trailer companies have gone out of business and the beds are just in a parking lot and wasting away when they could become homes.
thanks for listining to me,

I am excited about this most practical application of materials. I always wondered what to do with those extra bedrooms children leave behind as they grow. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could help them load their old bedroom/ new studio on a flatbed, worry less and have more open interior space?! Lets hope he doesn’t quit fragmenting,

This project seems to be a cool idea.
