This project should guide someone through the process of designing usable housing based on common shipping containers. This should cover design of a functional space, with fixtures, storage, appliances, plumbing, heating, electricity, insulation etc. This should include considerations for both grid connected and off-grid sites. Considerations for preparation of a site, selection, transportation and refurbishment of suitable containers as well as any possible legal issues should also be covered.
