Shipping container project

The outline of our shipping container project was to make a house out shipping containers for a new neighborhood in Detroit. Each house had to be made out of two forty foot and one twenty foot shipping containers which is a problem from the lack of space each container holds. The main problem was to rethink the elements of a traditional house and put in everything a traditional home needs in this small house.
