New Rectangular Box Living

Shipping container conversions have been popular for a while. People always seem amazed that a "small" rectangular box can become a living space even though the single wide trailer as a home has been mocked and looked down on for decades.

If this sort of creativity were used in modular home/trailer design there could be a revolution in affordable housing.

Part of that revolution should be building homes that last.

Current construction practices for almost all residential spaces is focused on the bottom line and making the sale. The long term aspects of the properties are rarely factored in as builders know buyers don't factor that in when making a purchase and most new home buyers won't stay in the home long enough for it to be an issue when it begins to fall apart.
