Elevation Cut-Away Of Container Housing
Global Nomadic Housing
As I said before, I originally thought about using two 40 foot containers to create a living arrangement.   Now I see no need for more than one container unless you plan to develop an elaborate site. However, for greater ease of moving and site locations (especially urban sites) I think it¹s interesting to consider just a single 20-foot container.   In my design efforts I first tried to solve the issue of efficient basic utilities like a shower, toilet, and kitchen.   After making full-scale floor plan drawings, I developed a kitchen and bath layout I think is comfortable using only twelve feet (3.6m) of the container.   And it includes lots of storage and a big table.   Tightening the layout could easily shave a couple more feet, but it's comfortable and fits within a 20-foot container leaving space for a bed and closet.   I'd put the same 12-foot bath and kitchen plan in a 40-foot container and just have that much more living space.   Take a look at the sketches and let me know what you think.
