Modern Homes New England

So-called “dream homes” seem like a fantastic solution to get people into clean, affordable housing. From CNN:

If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of shipping container homes. Via Grassroots Modern:

a seven story condo made of orange shipping containers dubbed “City Center Lofts” is planned for construction in downtown Salt Lake City.

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.

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.
