Hybrid Seattle takes a highly stylized and creative approach to creating container architecture designs. Many of their works are, so far, purely academic exercises showing the potential possibilities of shipping container structures. However, they have build some small-scale modular housing units to test their theories and are in the process of developing a larger cargotecture housing project this year.
Came across this cool company that builds prefabricated structures and structures out of the ever-versatile shipping container. Formed in 2003, Hybrid's team focuses on "generating thought-provoking and ecologically sensitive solutions to our present and future urban cultural conditions." They coined the term "cargotecture" (not sure if they were the first) in 2003 to describe any building system that uses ISO shipping containers. Its cool to see a company trying to make prefab housing a little bit more attainable and mainstream for the masses. Check out their work...they have some cool designs and concept art.
