The Globe and Mail from Toronto informs MHProNews Jason Halter and Michael de Jong have created a two-story modular house from 70% recycled materials. Using shipping container steel frames clad in cedar, the homes start around $115 a square foot. While this energy efficient house can be had with Italian porcelain sinks in the bathroom and solid hardwood floors, the owners are also considering building homes for survivors of Hurricane Sandy.
