Precision Structural Engineering, Inc., of Klamath Falls, Ore., has engineered what it says is the first shipping container home to be built in the state of Oregon. The design uses containers as basic building blocks in conjunction with additional materials to create a durable, attractive structure.
The company also cites several other benefits to using steel containers:
- Ease of use
- Modern design
- Self-supporting
- Non-combustible
More information is available on the company’s website, www.structure1.com.
