Now long ago, we talked about how Berlin now has a new cultural center made from recycled shipping containers.

We now wish to bring to your attention the fact that these readily available structures are ever more present in our lives, as some people have chosen to turn them into their homes.

As sources explain, one can either turn just one shipping container into a comfortable house, or opt for putting more of them together and come up with an environmentally-friendly living space which is bound to make some neighbors turn their heads in admiration.

Not to mention the fact that they might become a bit jealous.

Moreover, solar panels can be fitted on top of these eco homes in order to harvest this green energy sources, and many other similar features can be added to this highly innovative building in order to make it as environmentally-friendly as one wishes.
