What can’t the shipping container do? We know you can live in these fabulous prefab versions of shipping containers (such as the All-Terrain Cabin or Detroit's planned container condos by Steven Flum); you can shop in them (like in Freitag’s shipping container store in Zurich); you can even serve beer out of them (we like the industrial hipness of Melbourne’s Section 8 bar). Now, even more recycled fun can be had in Melbourne-based Phooey Architects’ shipping container playground, which revamps four shipping containers and other reclaimed materials into an attractive yet functional activity centre, designed to provide kids living in South Melbourne’s public housing with safe spaces to create art, dance and play.

NICE! Beats the hell out of menting them down. Now THAT'S recycling...

These things are really cool. Of course I get by in very minimal sq ft, and love it.
Come to think of it, I loved the mystery book series The Boxcar Children as well. smiling -
Great, except that many shipping containers are so toxic it costs more and takes more harmful chemicals to clean them well enough for human habitation than if you started from scratch. Unless you don't care about that sort of thing...

Neat. I bet they charge about double what it's actually worth.

I'd guess there's a pretty big health risk in living in them.
