And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've converted a few to serve as site offices, and they've worked out OK for that. Of course in that case, they're easy to transport, too, being shipping containers. Can't see them as living spaces, though - the conversion cost is not insignificant.
Interesting innovation, all those latches on the end doors. That sucker is staying shut!
I don't see any gate in the upper railing, so outside ladder is out, so where does one access it. No windows visible on lower box, so is it treated like a cellar? It is my understanding that shipping containers have primary strength at the corners, so does the offset and lack of supports compromise the integrity?
As previously noted, possibly AI generated (or otherwise manipulated).
Stop lying. The whole shipping container hoax is a dead end. It costs WAY more to make them functional than to just build with conventional stick framing. The only people lauding containers are naïve wusses.
Cluebat for ya: Note the farthest right latching bar on the right side. No handle. IOW, unopenable.
This is 100% Artificial Stupidity-generated. The floating ground level is another clue, along with the lack of any access to the rooftop patio.
Container building has its uses, mainly for utility buildings (barns and garages, e.g.). Otherwise, as noted above, the cost to convert to habitable is wicked dumb, they're uninhabitable without yuuuuge amounts of modification, and overall, you get more bang for the buck just building 8'x40' cinder-block structures, with concrete slab roofs and foundations, for about half the cost. And which, unlike containers, you can bury without fear of collapse from soil weight, or perpetual rusting into destruction.
Looks like two containers stacked in an offset manner. 2 floors, neat!
ReplyDeleteTotally fake. No foundation, but make sure the deck columns have a good base. The rest of the unit is anti gravity and floating in the air.
ReplyDeleteMost likely AI generated to visualize the concept.
DeleteAI staging is big with houses now. Real estate agents don't have to lift a lawn chair anymore. That said, I still like it.
DeleteNice. Someone is an expert welder. I wonder how much the whole thing cost to build.

The concept is better than the reality with shipping containers. Walk in one!

Extreme hot in the summer and almost-deadly cold in the winter.

oooh!! so much negativity! Container housing is a reality in my 'hood

DeleteLooks very real to me. Don't see any of the telltale AI signs.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the 'deck' supports the whole thing. The upper container sits on top of it while the lower container hangs from it.
