I just happened upon this site while researching Shipping Container Home Plans. I am a graphic and Interior Designer. I am also trying to build a green and mostly recycled home.I love the framework of this home. That’s just it…it’s framework. There are so many possibilities with this idea. Being from Maui I can truly bring the outside in. This is the epitome of KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. Thanks for share.
Aloha

This does not look like particularly good green design to me. Separate structures are a waste of resources. Obviously it is at a higher elevation and probably has as much exposure to extreme cold as it does heat. With all the metal and thin walls it looks like it would be very cold on that snowy day.

Massive walls of rammed earth or adobe would work well. With good control of solar gain the temperature swings between night and day could be evened out quite nicely.

I love the flexibility designing in a dry climate affords. I love the operable walls and movable elements architecture in this climate can accommodate. It’s tough adapting these ideas to humid cold climates like the US/Canadian North East.

Like the article says – it looks like a hay barn!

You can accomplish the same object with style quite nicely.
