Solar powered shipping containers are camping cabins for Boy Scouts
Shipping containers are finding more uses nowadays than just ferrying things around on sea. This time, shipping containers will provide shelter and a place to rest and live for Boy Scouts. Contributed by Richard Hammond and Gensler’s Santa Monica for a Boy Scouts’ playground in Emerald Bay, this cabin was made out of a recycled shipping container and boasts a whole load of features that makes it livable in. Using reclaimed lumber, durable rubber flooring, solar photovoltaic’ cells to power it up and LED lighting, this shipping container is sure to bring a sparkle in those Boy Scouts’ eyes. The roof of this camp house is made of a stretched silicone-coated fiberglass material. 20 cabins like these will be built for Camp Emerald Bay. Let’s hope the Scouts love this idea as much as we do!
