I recently came upon this interesting concept for factory built, zero-waste modular homes made from cargo containers designed by the Australian company Quon.
Their website is a little light on info and the company may have never launched, but the Leggo-like building block concept for container living still packs a conceptual punch. Though the building units are identically shaped, their configurations are almost limitless … that, combined with the fact that the building modules can be moved via truck without special permits makes for one fast-tracked green building recipe.

Eco-friendly housing of the future. I love the idea of used shipping containers being the foundation to create interesting and eco-friendly housing.
There is a zen like appeal to some of the designs I have seen, as well.
What type of climate would these be suitable for?
Really interested in this project – I had a look at the site and it s short on information. Did you know the developer ?
Do you know if this was this based on container modules or just “modular” building blocks ?
