  • I can't imagine it ...

    I can't imagine it would be that much worse than a temporary building, or cheap office block which tend to have metal roofing. I think combining these containers to make bigger areas is the way really. Although the size is static, it does make you think about rooms you enter and how claustrophobic they may feel. It's bigger than an average caravan, and more sturdy - could be ok for some.

  • I wonder how it is ...

    I wonder how it is when there is a storm. Could that be very loud against the metal? I think it is chic and for people without children, especially for students it would be a great experience. But, forever I would feel clostrophobic. What about this one in Australia where the designer uses particle board flooring? Doesn't that have formaldyhyde in it? I'd worry about the levels of formaldyhyde. Just need solar panels and you're set.
