I really do not understand the appeal of shipping containers as houses.
One thing a shipping container house has going for it: The structure itself is guaranteed to be earthquake proof, assuming you don't cut too many doors or windows. It could sink into liquifaction'ed soil and still be structurally sound.
Of course, the interior finished walls and furnishings may be a problem, the the container itself should survive nearly any size earthquake.
- stevenwoo 9y agoThey cut down a full size container by at least a third then put huge windows in them and placed them on a what looks like a concrete foundation with a cinder block base - not sure why they even bothered with shipping containers at all, these were brand new containers to guarantee they were never used to transit toxic materials.
