“It goes around the equator twice” is implying how much there is if you stack them side by side.

No offense. But you should know before you live in container house, it’s sweltering hot in summer unless you turn a/c on every moment even while sleeping. I guarantee it’s average 4 to 7 degree celsius higher than outside. There’s reason why people use bricks, trees and steels.

It really looks cool. I am wondering why those buildings aren’t more common these days. About that theme my friend have written blog post shippingcontainerhomes.us.

@julianjbae My ac Runs 24/7 anyways and I live in a brick building. A Roof garden growing onions, tomatoes, Cucumbers or some sod could provide some well needed insulation from the heat.

This is amazing. The only thing I would change is the colours. LOL! Not that this is the point of this project. But I think it would look amazing all one colour.

@julianjbae spraying Ceramic paint in a container home will insulate it very well from becoming an oven. But then I live in the South so I have the a/c on night and day in the summer anyway.

@julianjbae What about if you have a top layer of containers dedicated to insulation?
