OT: Tiny homes/Home design/Sustainable living
I've been watching the development of container homes for a few years now, mostly enjoying the different design concepts that people come up with as well as possibly doing something similar in the future. I really liked this one for the gentleman's excellent use of space, amazing woodworking skills, future expandability, and the fact that it can still be shipped anywhere in the world.

Nicely done. I'd be interested to know if the side doors are something he added, or if that's a particular type of container. Most, of course, have a single set of doors on one end. I have seen some (but few) with doors on each end. Had similar idea for weekend getaway or duck camp build, although not so artfully executed.

I thought he said "special use" container. Probably one of the ISO Dolphin containers or something like it.

I am fascinated by them too. I have a VW westfalia and I was always impressed on the multi-use of space in that. |

Interviewer mentioned not cutting lots of holes, keeping the "shipping" container aspect intact. Assuming the drain/waste piping runs thru couplings or penetrations in floor, cut flush with bottom, such that they would not prevent stacking (in the event Velotel agrees to let you stage one in his lawn) |
I don't think I could make a move into one of those, but I have thought about buying a big plot of land somewhere out in the sticks and building a rustic cabin out of these containers.

Another interesting use of design and space on a small/moderate budget in a beautiful local...

Another video recently watched I found to be very interesting...not about tiny homes, but more about "living lightly on the land" with homes that blend more into their surroundings and the use of common space.

Most Paceliners' bike collections wouldn't fit in one of those.

I love the idea of a Tiny/container house, but I think I would struggle to make it work long term. It wouldn't be the every day space I would miss, it would be the storage for bikes, tools, and such.
I wouldn't hesitate to build a cozy vacation home out of one on a nice piece of land however. |

I love that Italian mountain house!

That is almost perfect. LOVE.
