Hon svetsade ihop 4 containrar på sin tomt. När vi ser slutresultatet tappar vi andan! Claudie Dubreuil kommer från Quebec i Kanada och är ingen främling för hållbara byggmaterial. Faktum är att hennes företag, Collections Dubreuil, är stolta över deras sätt att bygga hus och återanvända material på ett ekologiskt hållbart sätt. Hon får dock sällan chansen att visa det fullt ut. De flesta hus Claudie bygger är någorlunda konventionella. Att få tag i containrar var enkelt. Den svåraste delen i hela projektet var att få ingenjören att anpassa dem efter hennes ritningar. Efter att ha kämpat i månader fick hon dem till slut levererade och svetsade på plats. Skillnaden är enorm. Den är lika vacker och modern som utsidan, och de stora fönstrena ger en oslagbar utsikt. Det finns inslag av tegel och trä, och väggen bakom spiraltrappan bidrar verkligen till atmosfären. Trappan leder till övervåning där denna mysiga lyckta hänger. Köket är i bästa skick med all utrustning man kan tänkas behöva. Badrummet har likaså inretts till nya höjder. Gilla Uppskattat för fler liknande artiklar.

10 Houses Made from Shipping Containers A while back on an overcast Sunday, I holed up inside and watched episode after episode of Top of the Lake (think Twin Peaks set in New Zealand). In Jane Campion's compelling drama, a group of women set up a camp called Paradise made from shipping containers set on the edge of the lake. We like the idea of a shipping container as vacation getaway—it's mobile, inexpensive, and an example of creative reuse at its finest. We've rounded up our 10 favorite houses (plus a swimming pool) made from shipping containers.

MEKA reinvents shipping container housing Shipping containers are wonderful things- for shipping. They are part of an elaborate and extensive infrastructure for moving goods cheaply and efficiently that has revolutionized world trade. They are also all the rage among designers and architects who have been converting them into housing, with varying degrees of success. Then there is Meka. They do not build shipping container housing; they build what I will call housing containers- modules of houses that are built to shipping container dimensions to take advantage of the shipping container infrastructure, without most of the problems that actually arise from working with shipping containers. Where a shipping container is designed with enough steel to stack nine high completely filled with stuff, Meka designs their boxes with just enough steel to do the structural job that is required, while filling in the rest with conventional building materials that cost a lot less, that are easier to work with, and provide some insulation.

Artist couple's home is a 60-year-old time machine The couple's daughter slept here. Those are 1960s Rickie Tickie Stickies on the wall. The Martins built the home in 1954. We knew we had a gem on our hands when we read the usually dry real estate description: "Absolutely dyno-mite pad with groovy vibes -- this never before seen generational home is a true prize in the Cracker Jack box of L.A. real estate." After our friends at the Curbed L.A. real estate blog made this fabulous find, Yahoo Homes talked to Hughes Estate Sales, which gave us a preview of items from the home that it will be offering on April 11 and 12 (click here to see the gallery; the items pictured at the end of the slideshow, after the historical photos, will be for sale). It starts when Albert P. and Gloria Martin, a commercial architect and an artist, respectively, moved to California in the early 1950s. "Family stories tell of Albert and Gloria putting up beams together. Neil's sister had the room that still boasts 1960s Rickie Tickie Stickies. Neil Martin
