Stacked cargo containers in New Haven’s “LEGO” apartments
4 years ago
Christian Salvati of Marengo Structures thinks shipping containers make great building blocks, and in time, he hopes it will become an affordable and quick method of building homes.
As full-scale R&D, in 2012, he built Connecticut’s first shipping container homes: a two-story duplex built from six containers. Two years later, he stacked higher using 27 containers to build a 6-unit apartment complex he hopes to rent to students in the New Haven area (the building is wedged between Yale and University of New Haven).
While containers are uniform, modular and easily sourced (Salivati buys from a depot in Newark, NJ), the building process is still slower and more expensive than it should be given the lack of codes for this type of building.
Salvati thinks that by sharing information, architects and builders can help improve both zoning issues and the currently steep learning curve that prevents containers from becoming a more universal modular alternative.

YOU DON'T HAVE A BUILDING CODE FOR THEM.!!!!
ROFL were you stoned making this video?
I love your Idea; how could we get in contact with your company and due project with you. I would love to have a 3 level home built with the use of it fencing in my property and garage as well
I love ur work nice job.
Please bring this concept to North East India. The Hill People with little space and heavy rainfall would be glad to buy your Container Homes. I will be the first. I like Container Houses.
This is awesome!!
I think they'd be much more acceptable by the community if you had a greenwall or creepers growing on the side of the building, or even hire local artists do murals idk
4:42 LOL so random
The whole time I keep thinking about Alec Baldwin, lol. I've wanted a container home for years! Great vid!
I love it. There is one about a mile away from me but they use them as office building. Its really cool looking. I'd love to live there.
I designed and built homes for 30 years and I find these homes totally acceptable and quite possibly longer lasting and possibly much sturdier than conventional homes. I love the idea and the thought of easily going off grid using modern technology. I know and experienced the difficulties of presenting new forms of construction to conventional building departments for approval and it can be exasperating depending on the knowledge of the components of each building department. Great job and thanks for sharing.
That's really cool
i hope the dont use paint with chroom-6 in it …..
Interested in working with you.
How much will the rent be??
Can't help but wonder how toxic these things are to live in as far as VOCs.
I like the look of containers. What’s wrong with people? 😂
Don't be fooled everyone!!!! suddenly every state is doing this?!?!.
Good idea but please cover those ugly, banged up panels!
By the way, are the containers anchored to each other or just seating on top of each other? Can the building withstand a hurricane? How will it behave during an earthquake?
How can I get a house like this in Jamaica w.i
I am more fascinated by this guys arrogance than these old rusty ship boxes
Helll what’s the cost of the house u made ?
5
Great ideas. Keep up the good work and push for more acceptance of this.
great way to recycle and use shipping containers that no one uses anymore
In my city they did a taco bell out of shipping containers. At first everyone was like wtf. But then i thought about it and it's smart
Is this a good option for the people in Puerto Rico?
I love this…..
I look forward to living in one
Neat can it withstand strong storms or tornado is it bullet proof too?
a shelter for the homeless would be a good idea.
….allow us to build quickly and efficiently…and inconsiderately to the neighbors and surrounding…thank you very much…goodnight
Hi Firstly i like your house and Lego building can really be a hostel so i'm very very interesting !!
I think sincerely to live in Container House like this. No cold as really house !
Please question for you ..how much is it containers built with 3 bedroms, living, kitchen, garage car, 2 bathroom, Toilets. I live in France. I will love you built my futur house it will be this great challenge . See you soon
Half-container half-house….yessssss I'm falling in love with this concept
Cool. Good Stuff !
Awesome
What was the total cost for this project?
What started as a much more affordable housing plan turned into becoming much more expensive or as expensive as a normal home, very costly as home builders, realtors, home flippers, etc. All run the prices through the roof for profits..
Look! There's blue skies!!! That's a Beautiful Home!!!
