Eco friendly shipping container studios

Came across several interesting repurposed shipping containers into living spaces.  My favorite one is the living space above. I like the contrasting palette of orange and blue as well as the contrast of industrial metal exterior with the organic wooden interior. It s equipped with a functional bathroom, living green roof, and window cut out of the container.  Design by Texas architect Jim Poteet.

 I want to make my studio space out of container as well.
A drive thru Starbuck made from Shipping containers. I been to one in Seattle, its very cool!


Tree Houses

 Korowai tree house


 Deep inthe southeast Indonesian province of Papua,lives the Korowai tribe
 who built their homes as high as 164ft (50m) from the forest floor.



Rising 97 feet into the sky,Horace Burgess owns the largest tree house in the world.  The tower-like fortress has 10 floors supported by a 80-foot-tall white oak 12 feet in diameter at its base with six other surround trees.
