Let\'s see some images of these dwellings.

Can you buy them at IKEA?

It would be great if the design is safe and they can keep the price low enough to make a difference. If they are as safe as the cars, the owners will die in the first major storm that hits them or the first small earthquake.

Here is a picture about that cheapest house: http://www.caradvice.com.au/128924/tata-announces-worlds-cheapest-flatpack-house/

What about shipping shipping containers?

I have a cardboard box that my refrigerator came in. It is just as safe and I bet you can fit 5 Indians in it at least. LOL

I will take two please, build a home on my Mum\'s property and owe \"The Bank\" NOTHING no thirty year loan and halofirst, ty for the link

Shipping containers have been re-designed before: heavy, costly, evironmentally unfriendly, uncomfortable. Ready the building trade press over the decades, their have been many such proposals. Few seem marketable, sustainable or usable.
Hence the plastic-cloth cities used for the milions of refugees in the camps all over the world.

I think the form factor of shipping containers is the biggest thing against them for liveability. This proposal is slightly smaller in floor area than a 30 foot (9.14 meter) container, but is not constrained to the long skinny shape (you can buy high containers which have 1 foot/30cm extra headroom).
Also, even second hand containers would cost much more than these, especially after conversion.
I, too, would have liked to see images.

Is that right, Flink?

Ever been in a Jaguar? They\'re Tata cars...
