Technically, yes, a little, but it’s a price we can’t afford not to pay.

Container Home Interiors

I’ve raved about the Zigloo Domestique project before. Maybe you’d consider a container home but aren’t into super-modern. These interiors are toned down a bit and quite comfortable, though they’re from a developer in Australia.

More on Lot-ek: Container Home Kits

A few days ago I posted a video from Inhabitat featuring Lot-ek’s take on container homes. I checked out Lot-ek’s site today, where they feature their CHK (Container Home Kit) plans.

As an aside, it’s really frustrating when Flash-based sites provide no means of directly linking to useful content - something I wrote about on C77.
