# Shipping Container Doll Houses The M112 Pod Miniatures Teach Children Green Living By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-12-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m112-pod-miniatures References: [inhabitots](http://www.inhabitots.com/2009/12/03/m112-pod-shipping-container-miniatures/) & [m112podsbyprd.shutterfly](http://m112podsbyprd.shutterfly.com) With the aim of emphasizing green living and highlighting the fact that abandoned shipping containers are being used more and more as living spaces, Paris Renfroe Design has created the M112 Pod Miniatures. The M112 Pod Miniatures are doll houses (or rather, doll shipping container homes) that replicate the real-world models. With mini furniture pieces to accompany the doll dwellings, the M112 Pod Miniatures also feature elements of the real-sized shipping container homes. These include Baltic birch interior ceilings, walls, and floors as well as sliding panel clear doors for easy access. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Green Living:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in sustainable building materials and eco-friendly home designs. - **Replica Models:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the production of miniature replicas and collectibles. - **Creative Reuse:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in transforming abandoned shipping containers into new functional and aesthetically appealing structures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing and constructing sustainable shipping container homes. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in producing realistic and educational dollhouse replicas. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique and eco-friendly furniture pieces for miniature dwellings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Triple Shipping Container Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modhouse-tiny-home.md) - [Pink-Hued Shipping Container Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-shipping-container-homes.md) - [Shipping Container Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-sun.md) - [Shipping Container-Built Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-model.md) - [Cost-Effective Shipping Container Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-container-living-nook.md) - [Miniature Insulated Home Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-tiny-homes.md) - [Prefabricated Miniature Home Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cpsula.md) - [Container Tiny Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teeny-tiny-haus.md) - [Versatile Compact Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augustine-tiny-home.md)
