Designing Your World - A Container Tower

Hi. I really enjoyed the prospects of this project, so I decided to think about a shipping container tower as a collective living place. Eight floors, modular boxes everywhere :slight_smile:

I started by create 5 different types of container volumes.

Then, I shaped the tower to get a first look at it. Many adjustments are needed!

For the props, I want to create :

  • stairs
  • retractable ladders
  • railings
  • water tanks
  • wind turbines
  • bikes
  • And so on…

Seems a fun project. They do make container homes and stack them up. You will have to get correct dimensions for standard containers. I am not sure the cube like sections exist to use?

Thanks.
Yeah, I red some articles about container homes for students, it’s one of my inspirations (and a little bit the Mad Max universe too ^^).

I found some infos with this types of sizes. I guess that the smaller ones are more used for storage than shipping : https://1300sparebox.com.au/top-five-tips-buying-shipping-container/

But perhaps I need to add one of two more with intermediate sizes, like refrigerated container, which is smaller :slight_smile:
