Would you live in this house made out of shipping containers?

This right here is bomb. It's 600sqft but the inside looks spacious. Love the oversized windows. I'm a fan of whether it's a condo,townhouse or single family. I think if they were mass produced and got a decent sized yard people would get them as starter homes fresh outta college/ trade school.

People tend to take on too much house when starter homes are out the picture. I think a home this size or slight larger can help them properly gauge how big they want their next home. You wouldn't want buyers remorse after buying a home with way too much Sq footage. Furnishing a home is another expense most people don't take into consideration.

How much is this?

Edit: $400 sq/ft x 600 sq/ft = $240k

Since Japanese tax rules cause freestanding homes to depreciate to zero in less than three decades, owners do not have to worry about choosing a house design that appeals to the masses.



It’s always expected that when the time comes, a buyer will demolish an old house and rebuild a new one to their liking.

Yeah I want to build an Earthship. I remember when I first found out about them I thought they were stupid until they showed the inside and explained how it works to cool and heat itself plus the interior was very well put together.
