Gallery: Home Less Home: Shipping Cont...
This double bed can be folded to become a single bed or an armchair. We love seeing all-in-one products!
‘HomeLessHome’ is a small home composed of rough frames that was built entirely from standard parts and materials like scaffolding pipes, bright red shipping containers, and waterproof plastic mesh, creating a super-basic house.
The house could be installed in either a rural area or a city, does not require a foundation, and can be quick and easily assembled by fastening ‘walls’ with standard plastic fasteners.
The house is designed to be flexible, modern, and mobile – plants hang in plastic IKEA bags so that they can be easily transported to the shelter’s next location.

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Shipping containers maybe, but yikes all that plastic!? An interesting idea done badly!
Just a small correction here – the HomeLessHome container is a project from Erik Juul Architects – http://www.erikjuul.com while the IKEA home at Højbro Plads was a different installation next to the one from Erik Juul. So this container structure you see on the pictures is NOT made in cooperation with IKEA
I would totally live in a place like this, though it might get a bit drafty…and it might be hard to keep the bugs out at night…
