I would have to see some interior shots to really answer properly.
The shipping containers look like dumpsters. I'm all for salvaged pieces but overpriced (undoubtedly) get-aways that remind me more of the alley behind a diner are out of the question.
Build them from recycled cabooses, and we can talk.
I've seen some fairly attractive shipping container living spaces before - and I voted "hot" above - but does anyone else think that the one in this post would look better if not for the shipping containers?
Hot is right- have you ever stepped into a shipping container on a summer day? Stifling. But with some careful planning it could be a winning arrangement. The world is full of millions of shipping containers!
