A 17-unit condominium built from shipping containers is being proposed for Detroit, on lots now vacant or containing burned-out homes.
According to the Detroit Free Press, "The project would stack empty containers four high, cut in windows and doors, install plumbing, stairways and heating, and add amenities such as balconies and landscaped patios."
Architect Steven Flum says that "it solves several problems at once, including the need to build environmentally sensitive buildings cheaply. The project is going to cost about $1.8 million, about 25% less than a normal condo project of similar quality would run."
