I’ve been looking into buying a home (outside Melbourne, Australia) and doing the tree change thing for some time now. Unfortunately, what I’m looking for is quite specific and in such a small market, doesn’t seem likely to become available anytime soon.

I chatted to a builder friend of mine who suggested I look into shipping container homes and doing it myself. These designs of yours have certainly given me something to think about. They seem to really balance out modern living and environmental considerations. I think they’re great. I only hope I can end up with something as innovative that adds to the environment rather than adding an eyesore.

Thanks for the motivation!

My goodness, I love this. I stumbled upon this through a friend and I can’t believe what a clever idea this is! I am in no position to buy/build a house at this time, but this FLW-ish design is amazing and now is my dream home and I will make this reality one day. Yay for creative, innovative design !!

New Zealand – I’d love to design something there. The FLW container project is about 4th on the list for working drawings. Check back often to see how long that will take.

Hey.

I love this FLW-ish house. Has it actually been built yet? I’d love to see pics of it “in the flesh”, so to speak. When will the designs be available for purchase? Seems a great concept for a New Zealand house.

Ciao!

A good way to estimate the building cost is by the square foot, we built our home for $180 per sq. ft. I think a lower number could be achieved, it really depends on the building’s size, your choice of finishing and sustainable/green options … perhaps as affordably as $150 per sq. ft. This is comparable with “spec quality” homes pricing, but gives you a custom design and a kinder environmental footprint by reusing containers.

Zigloo.ca is a design house providing custom design services for container buildings that include construction drawing documents and details. Doing remote projects usually involves local engineers to help out with the regional bylaws and municipal codes etc... Zigloo.ca is not a developer, contract builder or project manager at this time. See the PURCHASE section of the website for plans that provide do-it-yourself builders with the documents necessary to build container buildings for a number of purposes and functions.
