OK here is one Righto, here is the first one I can find easily. "Fabricated from disused shipping container. Brainchild of Geoff Fulton and Carla Salomon of Fulton and Salomon Architects. Portarlington Rd. Leopold. Photo: Gary Medlicott." on this website...

Aaron, there are a few examples of shiping container houses in Aus. I'll try to find the few that I have book marked and get back to you. There is an Architectural firm in Melbourne (I think) who is going into shiping containers. Give me a bit to find the pics and web site.

Kamak, I have done some extensive research on shipping container houses (it is my obsession after all) and the general consensus is that the best insulation is a spray on ceramic type on the outside. Notice I said OUTSIDE as insulating the inside can cause condensation. Of course spraying...

some more some more and apparently my message is too short so I now have to rave on about stuff in order to be able to post the pics!

Pics OK, hopefully I can post some pics of this very nice shipping container house in Costa Rica.

Im back I havent been on here for almost a year so I thought I'd update those lovers of shipping container houses with some new finds. This one is my new favourite. IMHO it is the best adaptation of a shipping container I have seen. It should please even the sceptics. It cost 40K to...

I'll tell you exactly why they have put another roof over the house. When I was at uni (studying architecture), one of our professors had a house almost exactly the same as that one, even down to the breezeway in the centre. Our whole year went on a site visit to his house as it was fully...

Yeh, I knew that, I was just trying to be funny, anyway nice design.:)

Love the design Bluecard Love it! Well thought out! Ever thought of doing it for a living? :D What sort of roof do you see on it? I think probably a skillion or a butterfly roof would look fantastic. Please dont tell me its a hip roof!

OK these pics go with the previous post Pretty nice eh? Would make a really nice holiday house/cabin. I thought I had some more on this one. Have to find it again. I really must write down the address I get them from! OK found a link (one of many), Its called Drop house...

Wow, love that little car but its very expensive....looked it up. Anyway got a really good shipping container house here. Have to say I'm thinking about making it my new favorite..... Actually its a pre fab .... but still shipping containerish..... See the next post for...

Here is another one I like. From memory I think its in Thailand (didn't save the URL address). Not too shabby I think. Sorry about the BIG pictures, I cant remember how I posted the pictures in the original post. Anyone care to remind me?

Im surprised to see the thread I started being bumped. Like your blog handy andy, keep it up. For those of you addicted to Grand Designs (like me), Foxtel is screening new episodes of Grand Designs revisited.

My second favorite shipping container house Here is my 2nd favorite one. Its in Canada, built and designed by a husband and wife architect who now specialise in building with the containers. There are quite a few companies in Northern america who only build with containers. I have fond a...

Tyre house Have you heard of a programme on TV (well foxtel actually) called Grand Designs? Well Foxtel had a Grand Designs marathon on the long weekend and one of the episodes was a Tyre house. The couple were building it somewhere if France because they said of "the retrictive building...

I have had an obsession with the adaptation of buildings (as in a former warehouse converted to residential etc) and alternative housing since uni. One of my big obsessions is housing from shipping containers. Apparently used shipping containers have become a small problem in many areas of...
