If you are into large scale property development, have a look at our concept under the menu heading "Unbuilt projects".
the SMALLisSMART HOUSE
This house has been designed and produced to show that the recycling of shipping containers can provide very low cost comfortable to luxury very economical living, and to show that we can down-size from McMansions! . . . . . And still live well.
As a result of the interest in this project, SMALLisSMART HOUSES will be offered for sale in various stages of completion:
· Fully constructed and furnished ready to move in.
· The pre-house with all steel modifications completed and a manual and set of drawings and specifications, and a pack of materials similar to what you get when you buy a piece of IKEA furniture. It’s for the owner builder.
· You purchase a detailed manual, set of drawings and specification for the person who wants to start from scratch to build their SMALLisSMART HOUSE. The manual will provide a material and cutting list down to the number of nails and screws and step by step instructions for building the SMALLisSMART HOUSE.
FOR THE BUILDER:
External and internal finishes can be varied.
The display model has the most up-market Alucobond finish on one side. The other side, for minimal cost, has just been painted.
The house can be solar powered, (skylights have been left out of the display model because of road transport restrictions.)
Waste grey and black water can be treated by an eco-worm farm technology with the resulting effluent fertilizer used to feed the vegetables on the “Edible Wall”.
The Edible Wall will provide a family’s vegetables year round, with the unique and patented “Autopot hydroponic system” feeding the plants only according to the plants needs.
