Your garden style container studio is hands down the best overall single high cube container house I have seen. your 25 years of being a craftsman truly shine in your prototype Thanks for sharing your project and your awesome vision of where you would like your humanitarian effort to flow with less resistance as your dream enables others to help themself s to set realistic goals of owning there own home some day giving another human the chance of experiencing pride in ownership.

    I love the outdoor design of the house! The layout inside is very efficient other than the 'compact' living-room space. I definitely would want a 20' container added to expand that space and give it a dining area too. Other than that, I love the position of the bathroom - it serves as an ensuite whilst also providing a separate toilet area for the rest of the home. What I did not see is ample bedroom wardrobe space!!! This house definitely needs more storage area...
