Once again an overpriced tiny house coming in at just under $200 a square foot. Anyone who can afford that can afford a lot more since you still need to buy the land and prep it for power, water, and sanitation. That should drive the cost up to about $300 a foot. These kind of homes are just expensive boxes.
How about reviewing an affordable tiny house? Something that adheres to the building codes and comes in at $100 a foot.
Anybody?

Intellectual? How smart do you have to be to pay that sort of money to live in what looks like, (from the outside anyway), a pet crematorium? For $62K you could buy a nice, smaller home in NE Minneapolis that's convenient to work and shopping, it'll be connected to city water/sewer along with all the other utilities and you'd be part of a community.

Why would one choose this over a prefab aka trailer home? You can get a prefab in double wide. This is small and boxy and just not a "house"

Lisc & reuse said containers worldwide, more jobs & see price drop to 40K per unit. Ideal for homeless.

Compare this to a 40 foot house trailer and see how much better the trailer is at utilizing space at a much lower price. Take a look at a 40 foot RV which uses 12volt, 110volt,or propane appliances for off the grid locations and still costs a lot less than this. For some reason most tiny homes are designed to waste space.

"...the exterior has cedar shelving attached..."
Intellectual Tiny husband: Honey, I've finished installing the exterior cedar shelving. Come out and take a look. IT wife: (pauses) Snookums, aren't shelves supposed to run horizontally... you know, so we can put stuff on them? IT husband: DOH!

In many parts of the country you can buy an existing stick-built home, w/infrastructure, on a normal sized lot for the same money. Upgrade the energy efficiency and you have an investment you can make money on, (depending on market conditions). Although I find the design and the up-cycled container excellent, I'll defer to a traditional home every time.

Once again Price Price Price. Way out of line.

I've seen better prison cell design. Insufficient # and placement of windows for natural light and ventilation. It does get hot in Longmont and they'll broil in summer. There are also many wonderful Colorado days when you don't need heat or AC, but again, no proper ventilation. Two chairs is not equal to a living room. The huge fridge is not well incorporated into the design. Skylights would have been a great addition. The bathroom mirrors annoy the crap out of me. Walking right in to the kitchen is a nuisance if someone's working there. Wasted space. No textures, comfort, style, personality. This is what a container home should NOT be.
