Shipping Container Structure

This house was created from, you guessed it, 18 wheeler shipping containers. This structure is a good example of adaptive reuse of materials.  Although I did not end up using shipping containers in my project, I thought this was a great idea.  This use of material would have been appropriate for my second project: Arkwings, located just outside outside of Memphis in Frayser, Tn.  This is a major shipping hub, with a  large number of 18 wheelers and shipping containers.  Thus, a structure made out of this material could be found locally and would connect to the culture in the area.
