Looking at the cabin John is building on the plot of land he and Holly have up in Okanogan got me thinking about shipping-container architecture again. It’d work well for a remote cabin, since the containers would give you a sturdy, weatherproof frame and reduce the amount of on-site construction required.

This is a great example of such a project: two 20′ containers on concrete posts, with some wooden framing between and a slanted roof overhead. It doesn’t look like they even cut any windows into the containers: the light all comes in from windows in the wooden section.
