The $250/sqft price point generally includes all living spaces, full height basements and attic areas. It is assumed that a garage also fits into that calculation. Although we didn't incorporate a garage into zigloo domestique, we were able to achieve a level of detail comparable to that of a designer quality new home ($250/sqft) for something closer to suburban "spec" level pricing ($180/sqft). A rough savings of $70/sqft. In any custom new home design, the cost per sqft is independent of land costs and landscaping.

Does this factor in the cost of the land or is that a separate cost? You mention that a container home built to typical design standards would cost CDN $225 – $250 per square foot.

I cannot see my dream home built without your contribution. Nonetheless, for a start I am interested in Eco-cargo concept for building my first home. I am currently based in Toronto, Canada. Can you please give a brief estimate as to how much would it cost to bring this project into reality? Thanks, Robin. Hi Keith,

It is a project I am very proud of and it is customized to tailor fit the client's needs. I am very happy to discuss your criteria with you and see how containers can be utilized to meet your needs.

Cool stuff. I'd really like to have this model for my backyard workspace. We don't have a lot of room in our house and don't want to expland. An additional in the backyard for chilling, hobby stuff, loud music, and movies would be awesome. Thanks for leading the way Keith! I heard you on CBC today and decided to visit your site.

We will be releasing the plans for this design later this summer. The longevity of the containers has been proven by the industry that supports and maintains them in the roughest conditions on earth ... the open ocean. I am confident that with relatively simple maintenance, these structures could easily last a century or more. Thanks for the kind words.
