The discovery he made was " weeHomes" a part of a larger company called Alchemy Architects. Founder Geoffrey Werner wanted to build something using sustainable practices, recycling and re-using and reducing waste during the building process. he works in close contact with clients, builders and other architects to create an interesting, eco friendly container home. They start at around $79,000 for a single container and moving up from there with multi-level homes. you choose the size of container and the interior plan and the materials to be used like bamboo and reclaimed wood. Then the home is brought to you on the land you have chosen and purchased. There are even some of these unusual homes available for private short term rental to "test drive" life in a container!
A few years ago my brother in his quest for the interesting and the unique found a new way of building and creating a home. He told me about it then and during his most recent visit last week we talked about it again as he knows I am always looking for something new to blog about!

In this day and age home is relative, we all have our own idea of what we want and need, whether in the country or the city, mansion or trailer and someone is always coming up with something new and creative. Take a look at these great examples of the weeHome. If unique, interesting and sustainable is for you why not try and get "contained"!
