\nContainers being turned into full-fledged homes<\/a> aren\u2019t so much of a magic trick any more. A short while ago, we came across containers being used as homes in disaster hit areas. This container-home isn\u2019t just an emergency roof though. It overflows with luxury and is a pretty cosy place to live in! Built by industrial designer Debbie Glassberg, the 2,600 square feet home was chiselled out of five shipping containers and is packed with energy efficient appliances and devices. That\u2019s not all. This residence of the designer also boasts a roof-top garden, passive solar systems and geothermal energy generation systems. The Home Contained project that\u2019s part of Glassberg\u2019s work could soon be an industry-approved way to real-estate development!<\/p>\n
\nFirst off, these homes are cheaper to construct. Also, using recycled containers gives those scrap pieces of metal a new lease to life, keeping them away from dump-yards.
