Great post today from our friend Chutayaves Sinthuphan (Chuta).  Khun Chuta is a Thai architect who is doing some great work on sustainable architecture here in Thailand — working on container based housing, earthen structures (adobe and cob) and other projects.

Khun Chuta was just featured on a documentary television program.

We were featured on a documentary ‘Save My Planet’ on Live Well Network about our interest in creating eco-friendly affordable income housing out of shipping containers in Thailand.

Check out the video here: LiveWell:

Next, we’ll head to the other side of the world where one man is giving old shipping containers new life. Folks in Bangkok, Thailand, might one day see an entire neighborhood of beautiful homes made from these abandoned boxes:

• There are thousands of unused shipping containers sitting in ports around the world
• The containers are usually made of the best steel money can buy
• Shipping container homes are a great way to provide affordable housing
