Hi reader,

These two containers are 20′ long each, slid past one another six feet or so to create the bed nook and the bathroom.

They do look large inside because of modern clean lines, built in storage that matches the walls, and floor to ceiling windows.

Our models are numbered after the square footage. The c320s, or ‘Studio 320′, is 320sf or 16′x20′.

Thanks for the question.

Joel

Hi reader,

This is Joel Egan, Principal of HyBrid.

There is more to these units than the plans. The structural engineering, the insulation and site-fitting details, and the fabrication network have all been hard to build over many years.

We produce the complete units cost effectively — although one should not presume that the cargotecture should be half price just because it is in a container. HyBrid does wood modular works at this scale for about 15% less cost than the steel mod containers. That’s what our research finds anyway.

Please visit our website hybridseattle.com for more of our prefabricated works and how to get them.

Thanks,

Joel
