We had been ignoring prefab housing kits as an option because we assumed they would blow away even in tropical storm winds. While googling hurricane proof prefab houses, Mr. Gottfried came across the 12 container house designed by architect Adam Kalkin. This house also came up in the book "kit homes modern" by Ima Ebong we received recently as a gift. The NYTimes article at the Link explains the idea thoroughly with a great slide show as well. We are so excited to think about actually taking this road as it uses recycled materials and I assume could be implemented further with green systems. Who knew a container shed so much light?
