British Columbia-based architect Keith Dewey built his green, prefab home himself, a large DIY undertaking. And he documented it all to share...
Some of the labels were left on the shipping containers.
See for yourself how Dewey built the Zigloo using industrial materials like shipping containers and chain link fence. Also note his use of sustainable materials like bamboo flooring and high-efficiency spray-in insulation.
Some interior shots follow. Would you guess these spaces are inside of shipping containers?:

i remember reading this/ looking at these pictures at least a year ago. I was really into the idea of shipping containers as housing.
I ran across his web site when I began looking for locally-based manufacturers of small footprint houses last year. His home is interesting, and I'm glad it's been featured here.
Blandwagon - LOL I just saw this and was thinking the same
The concept is kinda cool... but the chain-link fencing inside/outside of the house as railing? Major ICK!
I like the chain link fencing. It gives the space division without blocking light or sound. Plus, it's probably reasonably inexpensive, or maybe even recycled! I guess I have a think for metal. But yeah, definitely love Storage Container Architecture! Want one!
