Green Homes

Today, I have found some interesting things: they are Green homes and offices built from shipping containers. Yes, you didn't read it wrong, it is "Shipping Containers" and they are all so awesome (the designs are interesting), and very environmental friendly, since it reuse materials that we already have instead of cutting down trees, or mining for metals for new resources. These kinds of homes are popular in Europe, and New York.
One of the design that I'm impressed by was...
the illycaffe Push Button House
The illycaffe Push Button House is a compact metal container with a fully furnished cafe, functional kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and even a library.

Cove Park
This does not look like the average shipping box that we see, does it?


Here's another one that I think is interesting and pretty cool looking. This home is quite interesting. The interior of the house looks so modern and beautiful just like a regular house that's built from the normal resources. It's unbelievable that such a pretty and stylish house was built from shipping boxes. What's your opinion?
