    tried to go to the IDEKIT website. they claimed to offer the information in english, but their translator doesn't work. let's hope they're better at converting containers.

    I know, I think the website can be chalked up to start up stage quirks. Happens to the best of us!

    Very strange concept, but I love it! I am not sure about the containers being exposed on the inside though, does it look artistic and industrial? or does it look worn and rusty? Depending on how it was done I could imaging it going either way.

    So did they insulate it with spray foam or fiberglass?
    Looks like spray foam. I'll bet it looks wild from the inside.

    this is a GREAT house, my brother drives by it every day on his way to work. As he says "it makes me want one"

    i truly love it. and i could try to translate some of the site, but not sure what portion people want...

    I really wish they would share more detailed plans on how they got it down to $58/sq.ft. That is really impressive. I would love to build a 2,000 sq. ft. home at that price! ($116,000!) Perhaps they saved a lot of money on drywall because the inside of the home was just painted, leaving the container walls showing?

    Anyone have any thoughts on how they got it so low?
