Contained Living - TempoHousing In Sea Containers (GALLERY)
[Edit]
[Edit]
These funky homes are created out of recycled freight containers and are growing rapidly in popularity. The original idea by Dutch company TempoHousing was for the shelters to function as temporary housing, but the stackable units were quickly recognized for their innovative style and design. Ordinarily, unused crates like these would just sit around on a lot somewhere, so this is a much greener, more hip alternative!
The 332.9 square foot units come complete with standard living spaces including kitchen and bathrooms, some have balconies, and all have hot water and electricity. To top it off, they’re easily transportable by by road, rail or even overseas by boat.
The doors are fitted with anti-theft hinges and heavy-duty locks, plus the double-glazed U-value windows are equipped with fall-through safety. Plus there are smoke detectors. Stack them up in a block or keep it as a stand-alone unit, as a block, the containers can enjoy centralized electricity, phone and Internet systems. The whole TempoHousing set-up is entirely portable.
