Living in a container house is awesome!

In Life on September 13, 2009 by ervinas

Came back from Amsterdam, a very, very nice city (as being judged by “it feels good here” index). Together with Aurimas and the amsterdamer Ieva we saw the Potato Eaters, Hellenic artefacts, the Red Light District, and the bay (the place with the ships and water).

The last object was Ieva’s apartment, which is literally a decorated sea container. The whole house is like a huge lego puzzle assembled of these containers. One container per one person per one flat. Apparently, they are a huge success: check the building company,  the blog, and the youtube video.

It’s cheap, it’s quite strong, and, apparently, it’s quite comfy. Sound isolation might be better, but you can remove a noisy neighbour with his whole flat. Overall, it’s a nice and even stylish option for affordable housing.
