Shipping containers recycled into affordable, accessible Utah home

[@obfuscated3090]

If you are seriously interested in containers, un-ass your giddy emotionalism and forget that "heart" bullshit. Then STUDY how containers are constructed and how to best use them, Greenwashing container structures is UTTER BULLSHIT. They are already frequently used for mobile storage and industrial structures at which they are better than stickbuilt structures. Containers are easy to work with WITHIN THEIR LIMITATIONS. Learn what those are. This builder did a good job and his choice of 9'6" High Cubes was wise. Standard height containers suck no matter how cute they appear on KZbin. So do the little 20-footers, I own three 40' HCs and one standard height 20 I use for storage. Learn about SHELL COST vs. NET COST.

[@elizabethw.erisecovationhe5496]

Shipping container homes are not w fad. Tiny homes built with traditional building materials decay over rime from the elements. Containers replace rotting wood with solid steel structures as the support and still standing, functional, & increasingly more valuable.

Makes me look forwards to getting old and living in a smart thing like this :)

[@archdrum]

I was the architect and designer that didn't laugh at Jeff and helped him obtain permits from the city. There was extensive architectural and structural engineering issues involved in this project: Room layouts, door and window placement, plumbing, mechanical and electrical as well as energy code compliance and structural support. The design phase took nearly 5 months of preparation. Yes, the City balked a bit at the idea of containers, but seeing the structural engineering and energy calcs involved answered their concerns. As far as cost, yes this was more expensive than conventional construction, but being a prototype, that's usually the price you pay. if these were to go into production mode on a larger scale, costs would come down. I don't think they would approach the costs achieved with conventional production housing.

[@kirstendirksen]

Vince Oles Thank you Vince for clearing that up. It's such a common misconception that a shipping container should equal very cheap housing. It's easy to forget both what it takes to convert one into a home (plumbing, electrical, etc) as well as the engineering issues around a prototype. I look forward to seeing someone take this beyond a prototype.

[@tattoodfreeek]

I think its a brilliant idea, especially when you consider just how difficult it is to get on the property ladder now days. Its something I personally would seriously think of doing myself

[@RenegadeRussell]

It's the strange projects that walk through my door that I embrace. I have yet to have anyone ask for a container home, but if it ever does happen, and I'm sure it will, I'm completely willing to embrace it. Anyone who would turn away a project this challenging got into design for all the wrong reasons. When a client hands you a challenge like this, embrace it, own it, and produce something worthy of praise. Nice to see you did just that Vince.

Brilliant! I love Jeff's vision and appreciate his willingness to move through the process of changing the system to accept this new type of construction. I've built a large stick house from the ground up (and lived in a 29' travel trailer 4 years while building) and feel that stick houses, in general, are such a gross waste of natural resources on so many levels. It makes sense for our growing population to accept an expanded mindset about housing. Less 'keeping up with the Jones' and more living simple, meaningful lives that are not house-centric. Great job! Thanks so much for bringing this to us Kirsten.

I disagree in the sense that the younger generations have far more opportunities open to them than most seniors. Young adults are not threatened with being put in care homes or having their homes taken from them because of some duplicitous family member. Living on one's pension without the health to gain even p/t employment is something not faced by young adults. Nor is having independence for as long as possible. Bit tired of hearing the whining from the young adults. Move if you can - avail yourself of all opportunities - sacrifice something like previous generations have done. It's not as it was certainly but nor is it what it is made out to be either. This is a fantastic viable option for everyone and it's heartening to see someone who considers the mature population's needs. 👍✌

^ Who's whining? He made a simple comment. You went on whining about elderly people and their situations. While I agree that elders are in a tough spot, I'm also unbiased and would say that young people are too. To think otherwise is foolishness. Pile on rent, electricity, water, car insurance (more expensive for young people), car payments (also more expensive for young people), gas, college tuition, paying back loans, books, and groceries.... And what can a young person do? Some aren't out of college yet, so they can't really get a decent job. That means about $7.50 an hour to pay for all of those bills every month. I've heard stories from friends who pretty much eat ramen noodles and water because that's all they can afford. So, while I agree that elders have a hard time, I also know that young people have the same problem. The economy is messed up. No one is really in a decent position. As a side note, I visit my grandparents a lot and take care of things they can't really do anymore, so I'm not just another millennial "whining", which plenty of them do.

[@daisyflowers9334]

This video is interesting, but the one thing that gets me about these alternative housing videos, is that eventually the person building these places, get around to talking about how others live in big houses, and they make some kind of judgement call on that. If one wants to live small, and attract others who wish to do so, it's great, but not everyone wants to do that. I personally like the tiny house idea, but not so tiny that I can't do what I want. We bought a like new manufactured double wide home for only 23,000, and it is 1,188 sq ft, and that is small enough for me, although I would consider a place around 980 sq ft. So if price is the consideration, one can buy a nice mobile home, with room enough to live, but I know that not everyone would prefer a mobile home, and that's okay.

[@HarleyGram]

Daisy......modular or mobile home’s are less expensive because they’re made with very CHEAP materials! And during a natural disaster a shipping container home would better protect you and your loved ones.

They are indeed storm resistant. I have two welded together as a shop and it stays bone dry in storms. That's why I used containers. If you are serious. STUDY containers. Your local labor costs will be reasonable and one person can do most of the work. I placed mine atop steel beams and joined them single-handed without any mechanization other than the winch on my truck, and I didn't use that much. If you don't mind learning basic welding you can to that yourself. I suggest you place your power pole first and have a service panel with outdoor outlets (in the US I use 120v and 240v for my single phase welders and compressors) so you have power before you begin construction.

So as a general thing you are basicly buying a couple of walls and the structure to hold them, my only question is, is this really cost effective? How much money would it cost to build the same 4 walls with posts if you had done it with normal materials?

I like the interior of this house very much. I'm so jealous of their ability to have goats and horses in their yards in that town. We can't even have chickens where I live (but of course, the neighbors can all have 3-5 dogs each). :(

freedom dove . get horse. Iguana and ostrich

Living in the Midwest, I'd imagine the base structure of this home would hold up against tornado than most. I'd stack a few containers and make it several floors. Possibilities are endless. Great video. Thank you for sharing

I've been watching and drooling over this home for 4 years now and just realized it was filmed by Johnny Sanphillippo. My original attraction to logical living was the film about Johnny Sanphillippo's home in Hawai'i. THANK YOU JOHNNY AND KIRSTEN FOR YOUR INFLUENCE!

[@randybobandy9828]

There is nothing logical about living in a container home. The only reason one would do it was because it saves you money...except they don't! They cost as much as a regular home.

[@treywest6366]

Wow, this is amazing.

[@johnangelbautistaguitar]

Smart Man, Love this house.

[@mavilla221]

This has been my dream for close to 5 years now, This type of home in Kauai. Hard efforts are the best. Always admired Cliff May Homes here in California.

[@kellykelly7747]

I just looove this container home! Genius design. I so hope to see more of these. We need them in California!!!!!

[@kathleenreyes4345]

I’m a senior and I would buy this if I lived in your area! We need construction and communities like this throughout the country!

[@malmalhi007]

apart from the idea.. I like this gentleman.. when I am older.. I want to have his vision of humanity!!!!

[@carriereagan382]

I love this design. I would love to live in this house!

[@skellymom]

Sign me up! I want one of these. Imagine a huge garden around this. Enough room to have company inside and outside. And, all that natural light is fantastic.

[@ggetoile]

This guy is very articulate and forward thinking! Very talented indeed!!!

I used to lived in container home in Afghanistan when I was deployed. And I became a huge fan of container home, I hope one of my next project home will be a container home. Thanks for this you tube and looking for new ideas from your designs.

[@crosspecans]

I like the free light windows and living without stairs and ladders that most tiny homes have. Good idea to have no light bulbs to change from a ladder. Great size to the shower / bathroom. I enjoy my water heater like the one he has used here. Harvesting roof water rocks too. No duct work for the a/c is perfect. This guy has it all right although I don't remember him mentioning floor coverings. (concrete, wood, etc..)

[@6969smurfy]

i'v though of adding a addition container to my silo home when completed. or possibly installing it under ground to make extra storage & wine cellar. Nice Video.

[@thelionsden3323]

The shower stall is not 'accessible' especially for those in wheelchairs. Floor needs to be level, with no obstructions. Otherwise, it's a nice home.

[@bruceappleford7784]

Instead of tiles in the bathroom use vinyl as you find in en-suites in hospitals. I have done this and it works very well.

[@tammybohnstedt2358]

It could be made accessible he just showed an idea

[@caitlinbc4327]

I love it. Its in the shape of a mobile home, but with a permanent foundation and built with better quality materials. I would totally get one.

[@lavedaloose7010]

I love this concept, the style, the functionality, the size; it's great!

[@MrWizard36]

Fantastic, work and concept..

[@jcbrazuca]

This is the perfect solution. When people buys a house financed for 30 Years student loan for 30 Years, cars for 5 years, they just singn up for modern slavery
