There is the added benefit of transporting many extra materials inside the home for site. Ok lumber has to be moved etc. but all readily available and can be pre-loaded into the containers before delivery. This saves on fuel, at the same time the modular housing,factories and other container projects have already been in existance for decades. Only difference is now hopefully its going mainstream.

I agree. What the people with preconceived notions (building officials, etc) don;t realize is that there are very few homes built from entirely on-site materials. Lumber is raised on a timber farm, milled off-site, all the components are trucked in, etc, etc. Imagine having a container house like one of these (even if it includes several containers) built entirely off-site, and helicoptered in. No traffic created, few truck trips, no 6 -12 months of construction disrupting the neighborhood (of course site prep has to be done, but we;re talking a couple weeks). This is the way to go…

It's nice to see that people are finally starting to appreciate these container homes for their potential. The Austrian Escape Mobile is by far the most simplistic and elegant container home design I've seen in a while. I've been working on starting a container home design business here in Asheville, NC. Hopefully as more and more of these dwell boxes get built It'll make my job that much easier. If anyone would like to see some of my container home designs, just go to BigBoomBlog.com and search for Shipping Container Homes.
Thanks,
