Shipping Container Cross Stacked Home Designs
| By admin | Category: Profiled ISBU Project
Its not very often that I profile a Shipping Container Home Design based purely on Architectural Illustrations or Artists Impressions. There are so many design concepts out there that its hard for a new one to cut through the crowd and really speak to me. However I stumbled across this design over the weekend from the team at Container Nation and what impressed not so much the good design nor the quality of the renders but the fact that the illustrations actually showed the modification support requirements to correctly stack the containers.
I know I posted about this every subject only recently at stacking shipping containers but its fantastic to see this information being presented correctly even at the concept stage.
Check out the illustration below of a cross stacked and cantilevered shipping container home design.
And now the same image where I have marked the support posts required and even the support structure for the green roof.
Now this might seem like a small point but the myth of shipping containers ability to stack in any random and haphazard way that designers see fit is one of many that I am determined to eradicate, cantilevering and cross stacking can be done of course but it requires some measure of supporting reinforcement in order for it to be safe and durable.
Well done to the team at containernation. I am looking forward to seeing more good things from you guys.
I simply want to tell you that you that I think you have absolutely have exceptional well written articles.
Thanks a lot for sharing with us your expertise with those of us that are interested in container homes
Hello folks at Container Home. THANK YOU for showing my design….I’m very proud of this one. I have done more designs than I can even count at this point, having pursued container architecture for over 10 years now. The fact that I have never had a SINGLE ONE actually built speaks more to the lack of vision and willingness to take risks of the American public. These structures have been constructed in a multitude of countries in every variation of project type virtually everywhere BUT in the US. (Hotels, Multi-family housing, restaurants/cafes, you name it.) This is one of my biggest disappointments about having enthusiasm for something when no one seems to be listening. Anyway, if there is anyone out there who actually really wants to build one, I made an offer out in the internet sphere about 6 years ago to design one FOR FREE to anyone serious, who has the piece of land already. The offer is still good, but I don’t want the barrage of phone calls I got, asking for “The Free House Plans”. Thanks, I hope to see you all again here, with a finished building to show!
