What is it with their obsession with trying to use shipping containers as houses.

Why do none of them realize that something that was designed to the bare minimum standard of not destroying products would be a good thing to live in.

There like, actual materials designed to be used to build homes, maybe fucking try using some of them instead of trying to recreate what was supposed to be a crazy dystopian example of housing.

This is like the dumbasses that keep reinventing a train.

Take a shipping container, but you have to ventilate it and have heating and cooling.

Oh and you're going to have to have some kind of plumbing sos you'll need some internal walls and some penetrations

Wow I just had a great idea you could actually put some wheels on it and you could easily move it to any available lot.

Annddd it's an rv or a mobile home.

dedicating 1/3 of extremely limited floorspace to stairs to fit the fucking garage

Love the idea!

All these attempts to make inexpensive, affordable housing like this completely ignore the fact that it's not the house itself that's so expensive. It's the land.

What is the point of putting this thing on an angle

Start with a 3600 cu ft container
Immediately shave off 25% of that with stairs
You will probably hit your head going to bed because that's like a 6 foot ceiling in the bedroom now
Put the bathroom right over the car
Sewer hookups? Don't need 'em. Use your composting toilet to fertilize your tree on your massive empty lot
Room for a dorm-sized fridge and maybe a hot plate right next to your midcentury modern easy chair: support for a nutritious froot-loop and canned-soup-based diet
Just wash your dish in your bathroom sink
Also yourself, everyone loves a sponge bath and there's no way we're cramming a shower in this puppy. No sewer hookups, remember?

Uhhh all you naysayers are forgetting one important thing: the text says "suitable home design" right there. So, whatever negative things you have to say, maybe learn to read first. It's clearly suitable.

This just reduces floor space inside the container for no appreciable reason. Park the car on that strip of ground outside.

love that someone living in a shipping container would drive a beamer

....but where do I poop?

What if it's icy and your car slides into one of those tiny supports when you come in to park under your box, thus destroying your car, your home, most of your possessions, and possibly killing you?

Old people killer 9000, now with different spacing between flights of stairs to better catch them off guard

The shipping container home thing is similar to making furniture out of shipping pallets. Not functional, not aesthetically pleasing, and probably dangerous (chemically treated wood vs hot metal box that takes too much work to be livable).

If Amazon was a competent company that was better than its predecessors, then it would have kit-homes like the Sears catalog used to, and no one would bother with this container BS. But instead it's oops-all-dropshipping.

Honey, the house smashed our cybertruck again!

Love the house though

It’s cute that they think people will get a large, personal lot for a container and not just a cube like in Japan

Oh my God we actually have a shipping container defender logging on

Where do I shit.
