Years ago I had the idea that shipping containers welded together would make for a great, and maybe inexpensive, way to create housing while at the same time finding a use for the containers that reach the end of their usefulness. With openings cut for windows and transitions from one room to another, as well as furring-out walls in order to insulate and other amenities like roofs, skylights and decks, it has evidently become a building-block that has been discovered by the design community.
