The Crossbox by CG Architects is an eco-friendly home that has been made by recycling old shipping containers and making them livable. The concept sort of reminds me of the traveling museum by Shigeru Ban, which was also made from old shipping crates.
The Crossbox by CG Architects is built using four different shipping containers and although it's a bit boxy for my liking, the house is definitely intricate and the design would stick out amongst the usual monotony of houses.
