For example rather than building all the rooms underground in the conventional sense which would be very costly, time consuming, and labor intensive one could instead hollow out a smaller number of large cylindrical caverns with a reinforced shell/hull and an internal support skeleton on which to stack these easily mass produced containers in a circle around the edge to leave essentially a subterranean modular skyscraper with a central atrium with lifts utilities e.t.c. e.t.c.

Have a look at it. It's really interesting! Thanks for writing about these buildings. Very informative.

Schnell aufgebaut, preisgünstig und gut im Design. Ähnlich dem ATC und dem Part-a-Bach, versuchen wir uns auch an diesem Projekt. www.20ft.de Wir finden die Idee eines portablen Freizeithauses genial.

This is what I call innovation! Let's bring more projects like this to America, and get some of our veterans off the streets. Our youth construction program will be starting on a 100 unit apartment building soon. Wow! This is what I call innovation!

If all buildings could isolate and container fires to their point of origin that would save thousands of lives. I've seen the Redondo Beach house and it is awesome. Went by there not long ago and the owners have all kinds of recycled equipment, etc. in their yard and the place looks like a recyling center. Still the building is super innovative! the architect has another container building in Venice, CA that is even cooler. That youtube video was incredible.
