Well, it’s not a house. It doesn’t have a roof on it. It’s just an expensive art piece without any practical use.

What a tool. He manages to insult painters and people who run businesses to claim what he does is unique and important: I guess everyone’s an idiot who doesn’t spend their time making a pop-open container to pimp overpriced caffeine water. The end product doesn’t take any advantage of the low-cost, high-strength modular nature of the shipping container. Worst of all, he whole misadventure is essentially the creation of a faux recycling and utility that, if widely known, has the potential to make the work of those building actual container dwellings and offices seem as trivial as this lame cappuccino shack.

looks and sounds like one of the rich, detached from reality, individuals from Jamie Johnson’s “Born Rich” what a huge waste of time. Who doesn’t know what transformers are? Really? c’mon |
