3.0 out of 5 starsSomewhat helpful but not a good guide to build a container home
By SuZne on October 18, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a book of pictures. It does show mostly European container businesses and college dorms and multi dwellings but few homes. It was written in metric dimensions so its hard to follow. It doesn't give you plans just pictures and a lot of architects that build container homes out of the country. This book is too expensive for the little it gives.

4.0 out of 5 starsNew ideas - container atlas
By L. H. Vefago on June 10, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The book gives a survey of different types of buildings built with shipping containers around the world. It has a lot of examples (90) of stylish buildings designed with containers. It is beautifully illustrated with many high quality photos and small design plans. The book provides a short description of the buildings and a few simple building details. Could have been more details. But, if you want some ideas for new buildings with shipping containers this book will definitely help you.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat container design overview, written and compiled well.

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Great book, nice size with some great project examples and some very useful diagrams and charts. If you are looking for a starter/all encompassing overview on container design and some great examples with history and such, this is a good book.

4.0 out of 5 starsNice book, good for case studies
By Mscint00 on June 10, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I purchased this book and just as the other reviews said, it is a case study book full of high quality images of different types of container structures. It's very generic when describing the construction itself, does not provide any construction details or information. If you are looking for detail information this book is not the book your looking for. Only provides images, some floor plan distributions and a brief description of each structure. Overall I liked the book it's nice to have...

By Gilo on November 2, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Great and inspiring book for a very good price. it is not very informative as far as project description, and it would have been more helpful to know the budget for each project. never the less I recommend it warmly.
