The 12 Container House is a custom prefab green home created from 12
recycled shipping containers. This "T-shaped" 2-story summer home
features floor to ceiling windows, concrete floors, two fireplaces and
radiant in-floor heating. It is both ubiquitous and original, small and
large, intimate and expansive. Kalkin’s creative architectural arsenal
seems to have more corners and secret rooms than any one could every
fully explore. Arguably the premiere example of shipping container
architecture.

3. INTERIORS

glass structure that envelops the home.
