    ok, we can be done with shipping container homes for a bit. especially when they aren't cheap despite that being the supposed key aspect.
    You're better off just making the same sized dwelling with wood for half the cost.

      230,000 dollars for a unit.. I mean, i understand this is aimed for particular segment in the market and wanting to run a profit but holy shit can i do this much cheaper. Even factoring in decent tools for 50k you can do this for 25-40% their cost. ps; I have build sheds professionally that will last 50 years that cost 30-40k.

    With all that ~1500 gallons of water storage already included in the design/build .. I find it curious that they chose to not use any of that water for thermal storage from a air/water heat pump .. a ~90F (~50C) dT thermal storage of that much water could be storing over 300kwh of heat for winter , or cold for summer .. and it could also allow the heat pump to have a higher yearly average CoP harnessing heat during the day to use at night , or harnessing cold at night to use during the day.

      Yes, but I'm going to give this guy a pass, because he's addressed the major issues. Aesthetically they are reasonable. He engineered the structures, so the usual issue with them being weaker than you think is addressed. He put a couple units together so the room isn't unreasonably narrow. And he's using a robot, so the labour to prep them isn't exorbitant.

    what is the point of this? who would live in this? why would someone want this in their backyard? if you have a hose to fill up the water tanks, you are certainly not completely "off-grid."

    • @Spearca
      @Spearca 35 хвилин тому +1

      Well, there are off-grid water sources. You could have a spring or a stream.
      If you had a site like that, I'd suggest building a cabin instead of trucking in a shipping container, though.

    • @dufung3980

      Technically that hose could feed off a large water catchment system if it were used offgrid. A small pump, pumps and solar go together like peas n carrots.

    Too expensive for what it is, $70k starting price for 20ft x 7ft, is ridiculous, $4k toilet is overkill, just use composting toilet, you start with repurposed shipping containers costing maybe $1k or $2k maybe less, and robots do a large portion of the work. What is your profit margin?

    This is way too much. They could have done it up so much better for a lower price point. I'm not at all a fan. Especially sandblasting it. I know its corten steel but still, who wants to bump into rust and mess your clothes up? no tilt on the solar panels, so they have all the dirt from standing water left behind ruining their efficiency.
