Wow, here's a builder from Albequerque, Brian McCarthy, that was inspired from a Ciudad Juarez trip to go for housing from sturdy metal freight containers!
He named his company Por Fin Nuestra Casa, or PFNC for short. Here's PFNC's website. Their media page has two youtube videos, and one video has an interior tour of the container. And here's a CNN article about them.
Here's a pic of a detached unit's inviting exterior, with blue door and flower box!
And here's an interior pic. The containers have about 320 square feet of space--a bit bigger than the smallest hotel rooms, and the size of some studios in our cities:
And here's their awesome concept of a stacked configuration--I would love this! Living close to neighbors, but with my own little unit to retreat to:
Thanks Mr. McCarthy! This is inspiring!
