This latest container home is designed by Christopher Robertson and built by Numan Construction and is a 1,858 square-foot home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. In addition to many green features, apparently the construction waste was able to be contained within ten contractor trash bags.

Here are some of the green features:

• FilterPave driveway using 70-80 percent post-consumer recycled glass, 20-30 percent granite, and a polymer binder in a four inch layer.
• Built with three used shipping containers
• SIPs incorporated in roof and floors
• On-demand hot water heater
• Efficient Unico AC system
• An energy recovery ventilation system
• Bamboo flooring and low-VOC paints
• Use of fiberboard products
• Energy efficient appliances
• Dual-flush toilets and efficient plumbing/fixtures

The function of this 2 x 20′ unit container home is to provide housing for low income families in remote parts of the world. With minimal foundation expense, you can mount the O2 onto leveling jacks and be up and running in a matter of days.

Marti’s container home is coming along nicely. Her house now has radiant tubing in place and all the structural containers and openings are done. This is great to see one’s dreams come to reality and we wish the crew all the best and continued success in completing this container home. You can track her progress here.
