Innovative and Environmentally friendly four -level
multi-family building using shipping containers as
the primary framing or building block for the
structure.
Unit Description:
17-condominiums units over resident parking area.
Studio, one and two and three-bedroom units,
960-1,920 square feet.
Green and Sustainable Design:
Wood is the primary material for new construction…a
precious commodity that is harvested faster than the
earth can replace its valuable contribution to our
atmosphere. The project will use retired shipping
containers. With hundreds of thousands of used
shipping containers in stockyards without a use or
purpose and no one knowing what or how to dispose of
them. Many have been used once, originating in China
and traveling across the seas and not being re-used
because it is actually cheaper for China to build a
new shipping container rather than shipping it back
for reuse. It is estimated that 21,000 of shipping
containers are brought to the United States every
day.
The project will also use manufactured green
building materials and finishes in the build out of
the units.
