Watch the Video: Shipping Container Residence

This residence will be constructed from shipping containers. It will be situated on an existing property on the outskirts of Little Italy in Cleveland and will provide student housing to students attending the Case Western Reserve University.

The inspiration for using shipping containers for the project came from the adjacent railroad where containers often pass by in masses. Furthermore, the client was looking for a type of housing that could possibly be disassembled in the future and relocated relatively easily to another part of the campus.
