28 Shipping Container Home, - 4d and a architects, New Jerusalem Children’s Home, -  Johannesburg, South Africa,

4D and A Architects have been working with New Jerusalem to initiate a range of new housing volumes with accommodation for twelve children and one housemother per abode, and two houses sharing communal kitchen, dining, lounge and laundry facilities. After considering various alternatives, it was decided that the most lucrative approach was to utilise recycled shipping containers to construct these residential dwellings as the cost was estimated at R1.5million (€145,000) - 25% of the traditional brick and mortar home.
