  • Cordell Shipping Container House
    Shipping container homes just keep on getting cooler. Developers Katie Nichols and John Walkeralong with architect Christopher Robertson wanted to create affordable and sustainable homes for the emerging hipster crowd - modern, colorful and creative. This single-story home, located on the outskirts of downtown Houston in a "transitional neighborhood," is made from 4 shipping containers sourced from nearby ports. The house is constructed using some fairly advanced building techniques that make it an extremely sturdy and well insulated structure, not to mention incredibly cool.
