Modular Homes Are More (or less) Than They Use To Be!!!

Modular Homes Are More (or less) Than They Use To Be!

Have you seen the modular homes made from alternative materials? Does anyone you know have one?

Since I learned about the 'Tumbleweeds', I've been working to increase my knowledge on all types of building construction. Not because I know of any like this in my area - mostly because I find it really interesting.

Shipping or Storage Containers are pretty useful too!

From This --- To This

The number of alternative materials is astounding! All types of structures including freight train containers, concrete slab products, and any number of recycled materials that can be re-recycled again, and of course solarized heating. These are not just for temporary shelters in disaster areas - rather really beautiful uniques living spaces.

The ideas behind it:

Use Less Space

Preserve Natural Resources

Leave a Smaller Ecological Footprint

More Affordable Housing

Lower Energy Bills Up to 40%

I love the idea in theory, but has anyone you know lived in one? A cabin retreat maybe?

And what a great studio space for artists too! Yikes! I think I want one!!!
