After looking at a few different projects we decided to give a hard look and decided to look at housing. Specifically container based housing. We have already looked at basic designs for entry level housing with sustainable characteristics of solar (where possible), water reclamation and rooftop gardens.The total square footages will be from from 1,100 to 1,600 square feet. From our research it could take as short as 3 weeks to complete the smaller sized homes and about 4 or 5 weeks for the larger structures.
We are starting the benchmark project on a piece of property my family has in an older section of town that is being gentrified. I'm super stoked about starting this with my friends and a family member and maybe we can do a little good for entry level home buyers, as well.
Here are a few pictures with the first one being similar to the initial design we will assemble. I welcome any input if anyone has any experience in this type of assembly/construction.

We all need to agree Scandinavian architects should be all shot. Not shot to death, more like bitch slapped out of stupidity.
You need boxes, buy Kleenex .
Architecture is more than lighting up the yard.
