KEG Apartments Transform Liquid Container Trucks Into Mobile Houses

Now that <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/02/26/dominican-authorities-approve-of-container-cities-for-haiti-housing-relief/" target="_blank">shipping container</a> homes are super hip, designers are concocting new ways to upcycle existing materials into dwellings -- say for instance, liquid container semis! <a title="Aristide Antonas" href="http://en-gb.facebook.com/aristide.antonas" target="_TOP">Aristide Antonas</a>, a designer from Athens, has a great idea to <a href="../recycled-materials" target="_blank">recycle old trucks</a> into apartments that can either remain stationary or stay attached to the truck and be mobile. His KEG Apartments take a cool new look at how we can reuse just about anything to create low impact domiciles for a more resourceful age.

Mobile residences could be fashioned from the insides of abandoned liquid container trucks.

Floors, beds, furniture, bathrooms and kitchens would be attached to the side walls of the container, to create a cozy yet functional space.

The upcycled dwellings could be used as vacation homes, apartments, mobile homes or even offices.

The units could either remain stationary or attach to the truck and be transported anywhere.

Windows would be cut from the sides and access would by provided from the top via ladder.

Whole communities could be created from these reused trucks.
