Container City system

Using re used shiping containers to create homes, nurseries, offices, sports halls and much more..

[@EckhartBeatty]

I miss almost speechless. Keep up the great work, all yet containerists!

[@DominickBlack]

This video needs to be featured on the main page. It really does. It at least deserves to come up in the search better.

[@cowbellpeaceprize]

I love this. How creative. Other videos have ugly designs. This is just lovely!

[@Elinious]

I live in a container in Amsterdam. It's reallllly really good. I've seen them building the building opposite me... so quick! Perfect for student housing.

I live in central Canada, where it dips down to -50C (-66F) for at least a week each winter. That's not just obnoxiously cold, that's dangerously cold. That's so damn cold any exposed skin can freeze in 2 minutes or less. . Yet, the container homes here stood strong. I personally know one person who lives in a container house, I've even spent time in it during -40 or so. Believe it or not they actually insulate extremely well, and they hold up to even the worst conditions.

[@SteveBoyer10]

Wow, I agree. This is the best video on container homes I've seen yet.

The conservation, that converses, conservatism, that realizes conservatories, the conservatives worldwide, where life flourishes seamlessly a statement of certainties, preserved, that preserves for a lifetime.

Very Cool & Beautiful, BUT what happens after 50-60 years ?

[@josemaia8248]

I am having the pleasure of developing a college project related to modular container construction.

[@wangqiming724]

Hi Jose, I am an Engineer In Practice. Currently, we also working on a 3story 1500sft campus building extension project with limited budget. Could you provide me some information of what kind of structure you used? Were there any foundation required? How would you do structure analysis of it? Best

[@antonpanarin2561]

A great idea! But let's be honest: at the end of the day, these shipping containers end up as something absolutely different, since to make them suitable for their new usage one has to substantially contribute to their construction and invest enough money to make them look and feel like shown in the video.

[@Xonikful]

Wow. So this is how is container city built. (brink brought me here)

[@Jex134]

Just as with normal houses, your sound insulation is based more on your insulation than your actual structure. . With a layer of 3mm cork glued to the interior of the container, followed by a layer of cellulose insulation, you honestly wouldn't hear construction noise going on right next door. With a container you can completely insulate all surfaces for vibration (noise) without any spots blocking your insulation (thus leaking sound in) something you can't say for a house unless you're building

[@synapse131]

You can get pre-insulated containers that are used for shipping food stuffs. Regular containers can also be insulated fairly easily.

[@Drafty01]

What kind of paint finish do these containers have that the life is substantially lengthened? Shipping containers can have a pretty hard life, at the end of which they're not much good for anything as they're often rusty old boxes. Using "single pass" containers are a better option though, as they're often in good condition. Christchurch, New Zealand had a whole centre of the city built out of containers after the big earthquake and thousands of subsequent earthquakes hit the city in 2011.

When I built my restaurant myself in 1972, four buble fixed windows were not operable like these. I like operable windows much better. then I designed container housing for 10 & 30 story high-rise apartment buildings,I used the sky greenhouse for each dweller on his floor. built over the bullet train tracks. I called it Great Wall Village, after the Great wall of China. KZbin: georgewu5,housing George Wu, AIA 2012-11-3

[@jnpaget]

I'd like to see this submitted to the new urbanism film festival.

[@cloudxpeaches]

Wonderful~!

[@XxLIVRAxX]

In tropical weather this all metal buildings would become a gigantic heat trap..

[@KuntaKinteToby]

No 1.2 million is with fully functioning electricity, windows in, building fully finished, the cost of the crates its probably about $5000 each, the other 20,000 being spent on the other building materials and labour.

[@KuntaKinteToby]

Good thing they are building them in London not the Amazon.

[@sueishere25]

Built quickly too.

[@StyleYaa]

looks like living in leggos, cool lol

[@zombiekillerjordan]

I have to ask is a shipping container bullet proof?

[@glennhertel1165]

My idea of hurricane building code is steel box

[@RecordTrance]

QUESTION: - What about Lighting..? Has this caused any issues with lighting hitting these metal containers.? What safety factors have been put into place for preventing everyone from getting electrocuted ??

[@JeffDeWitt]

What's the difference between one of these and any other steel building? Actually lightning would hit the outside of the building and go to ground, hardly effecting the occupants at all.

[@JaanaJ1]

I'm quriouse about privacy there, I mean sound isolation in this houses. Anybody know something about that ?

[@RCvolunteer1978]

oh that Residential there is no way in the USA THE PERMITTS The paying thousands just to be permitted to use containers on our own land

[@Empresslockness]

That's not true. In that case they would be like gigantic freezers in cold climates. They have to be properly insulated just as any home should be according to the climate they are in.

[@haitang.1981]

What is the Price per container?

[@jfan4reva]

I hope they keep these things painted. Otherwise, in 10 or 15 years, they'll be rusty eyesores.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

how long do containers last even?

[@IVIakeItHappen]

yeah but at least the rust isnt actually the metal rusting away

[@ItsaMinoBamb]

I know how also! Please to be putting page home.

[@lijojohn6371]

Sup, Anyone learned about the Tube Cash Exposure? (do a Google Search) Ive found out quite a few remarkable stuff about it and my colleague made a great deal of cash with it!
