The South Coast Real Estate Round-Up

 The definition of recycling is "to convert waste into reusable material". With a cost of new construction materials always on the rise why not look at possible alternatives...like a used shipping container! A single shipping container is approximately 200 square feet. Enough room for a kitchen, a bath and a sleeping area. Think of how fast your home inspection would be!

Obviously PRICE is the main reason why people have started converting used cargo shipping containers into homes. The price of an average container is about $3,000 and according to Bobvila.com the build out on container is far less expensive than a conventional home.

And you would be surprised at what people have done to some of the "shipping containers" creating some amazing stronger and eco-friendly homes. HomeDSGN has put together a photo gallery of some the worlds most unique and inventive designs. Enjoy!
