Cargotecture

At some point this summer my brother was raving about buying this storage container from a local business owner. Apparently the operator of Louisvillian restaurant, "Toast" had bought up a small collection of shipping containers. These long trailer-like boxes are now being made into trendy modular dwellings, shops, studios, and other various people-holders. The movement, known now as "Cargotecture", is bolstering its numbers in Seattle, Washington and California among other places and boasts such modern marvels as Puma City in Boston. I railed with him a bit before ultimately deciding it was a practice totally unsuitable for locations with four seasons, and that ultimately it was heavily more trendy than inexpensive or eco-friendly. They do look cool though.
