According to the huffingtonpost.ca, Keith Dewey used eight 20-foot shipping containers to construct a 2,000 square-foot house on a lot of 40 feet by 42 feet in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Thought to be Canada’s first shipping container building, residential designer Dewey says Zigloo Domestique was inspired by a 20-foot container called Future Shack designed to deploy and be ready for emergency housing within 24 hours. While Dewey and his family live in the container house, he is developing 2,000 shipping containers into a high-density condominium complex south of Edmonton, Alberta. MHProNews has learned approximately 1.4 million shipping containers are returned to Asia each year to be recycled.
