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.
This is no sh.t the future. Love this. Elegant solution for repurposing containers into homes. Really enjoyed this one Kirsten. Please moar! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
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."
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.
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.
nice little guest/pool house. not the best idea to live in something like this. whos this for though? seems so expensive to make, and it doesn't look better than a regular pool house.
the robot cutter reminded me of Patlabor *goodtimes, but the serialised coding system using 'PB' + 'J' is brilliant. Got to rewatch their stacked AZ dwellings again. That was patina goodness! ❤ Cheers from Melburn, Ozstralia
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?
Way to much water. On my boat, I use 150 liters a month. I summer water will keep for about 2 weeks. Once the Temp is below 8 degrees, it will keep for 3 months. I use a home build composting toilet, no odors and no energy or water use at all.
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.
There’s a fairly large build in another of this channel, but after 8 high it’s not a great load bearing wind resistant structure without enough other material to defeat the purpose.
I have the Cinderella toilet installed in my office grid RV. It’s great. It’s amazing how much water you safe using it.
Water you danger!!!
If you don't flush it what is the smell like? Best Regards and Best Wishes!
I think we all wanted to see him pull out the ashtray on that toilet😂.

@@Chedring do you know which video is the new hampshire one your talking about
So how much does it cost?
One hundred million dollars (dr evil voice)😊
SB1 starts at $70K
SB2 starts at $185K
Trying to find out if that includes shipping and install.
$185,000
@@hanovergreen4091 of course it doesn't include shipping or install, who knows where it's going
I wonder how much the toilet filters cost? I wonder how often you have to change the filters for the water system to work and how much that cost?

Most people don’t consider water mass for a thermal sink, thumbs up for being aware.
Old Shipping containers are a terrible housing solution for a plethora of reasons.
This sounds like a governmental solution. They are all about wasting money solving nothing.
List them?

LOVE this concept! Brilliant ideas!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Great show. Thank you guy's.
how much?
230k, from their website
What is it like in extreme heat! Desert and tropical and extreme cold
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Genius!!!
How many square feet in the
SB1 model starting at 70K…?
What kind of foundation does this need. Slab, pier and beam, poured concrete?
Can you stack them? I realize there'd be less solar panel surface, but you could put them on main house or elsewhere.

Cost and where are these available?
I can live there forever. That is all l need.
The inside looks like a cheap doublewide. And 3/4 of it is pipes, tanks and batteries!
Wow, impressive! What does a finished house like that cost? What is the cost to have it delivered and set up on site?
how many year is required to be off grid with that much solar panel

so the only downside is no long hot showers really
from the outside they need a redesign

Your setup sounds great. Curious about your toilet setup. Where are you located?
All for 1.95M Dollars.
Their website lists the SB1 starting at $70,000.

Thanks for sharing this vital information...from the Ozarks drinking fresh spring water 💦
So cool
aesthetically it looks like its target market is recently divorced dads with money to throw around (but not that much money)
Neat. Thanks.
Sorry, not practical for normal living. For emergency shelters or in limited use it could be okay depending on the cost.
Cool toilet, but dang 4,000 dollars :|
Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I like this a lot but the biggest step is where can you place this and not have government in your business
I AM ALREADY INSIDE YOUR WALLS CITIZEN!
A lot of cities charge you for being off grid. They don't want you to be off
