Container Apartments - UWI

[Trini Hookah]

^ with a house like that in Trinidad, you're practically begging to be robbed...

[liquidmetal]

lol well with not all that glass

[TriniVdub]

^^^not if u use a very thick piece of acrylic glazing either a single monolithic piece or several layers laminated together. And if you want glass you can use several layers of glass and polycarbonate laminated together.

Trust me nobody breaking that unless they probably drive into it with a tractor.

hmm I've looked at some cool home designs done with containers online this week..and at this point..I thinking that this may be a good option to look at for someone that young and just building up themselves.



right now i seriously thinking of getting a lot of land to build a house out of 4 or 6 containers

you think those people left the containers intact like what these local couple doing ?

they took out the steel plates an kept the 4 posts the floor frame an the steel roof. All the rest is dry wall. With a steel earthquake proof frame bolted on a solid foundation Not even a bulldozer could move it. Who cares to use regular wood.

An those containers are given away overseas expect local prices to skyrocket if this catches on. An the prices are already high on the local market.

great condition 5 year old 20ft container in USA port $800-$1000USD no bobol here

dent up rusty 15 year old 20ft unit makes 10,000th trip an retired here in TnT by shipping agents $1,500-$2,000USD+VAT+DUTY

[Trini Hookah]

if yuh roomate fart...tuff luck

[pugboy]

it is good that the attempted bad PR by the guardian article has backfired and the facts show that nothing is wrong with container housing

21 apts at $3k = $63k month revenue
the owners have plenty bribe to pay the regional corp people if they hope to get the plans passed

[Habit7]

I saw these apartments the other day... they look noice!

It put all the small minded naysayers to shame.

[Trini Hookah]

^ VERY modern, but at a price. $3500 a pop.

[Stephon.]

I think the road name is Bedissie St., it's on the southside of UWi close to SAGHS.

GIMMEH! GIMMEH! GIMMEH! GIMMEH! GIMMEH!


Something like that I suppose. Not too pleasant for the other tenants.

Where did you source the container ?

Did Gov't approve this ?
Last time the Gov't had shut this private project down .

Some "white boy" had marry a "rich" Indian girl and come to put
UWI students in a "container dorm" to support his party lifestyle.

The Gov't should be ashamed to allow UWI students to live in a "container."

UWI have so much land and vehicles rotting away - they cannot build more dorms for UWI ?

Republic Bank put up a massive building in front of UWI yet no dorm facilities for UWI students ?

Orr horr - now I see when Cujoe say " We in charge now ! "

UWI in TT will look like Beetham Estate - Is this the PNM's UWI housing model ?

[Kenjo]

To have a temporary private single container for when home renovations are being done , will town and country approval be required ?

I'm pleased to see the containers being used for architecture. I visited this container home. I found it impressive.

Impressive ? I bet you have a scrubbing board to wash your clothes ..

It is not a house ..

It is not a home ...

It is a container ..

Like a water container, a juice container,

A "poor-zee" container ..

Get some bricks, galvanize and steel and build a real caribbean house for your children and wife.

Post a picture of where you live so we can all decide for ourselves.

The Gov't try that photo ting and they get shut down .

To be direct - that is not your bee wax muffin man.

These "container homes" will be used a a rental but it can create "ghetto type" housing which
we already have as you enter Port-of-Spain.

Ghetto Type housing scars a nation - see the Beetham Estate development . Do you want to see
another with " container type houses " or " trailer park communities" ?

Have a look at Sea Lots as you enter POS from the East . See the politics - see how tax payers
money is going to build a " walk over " from Sea Lots to POS Central Market and ask yourself
who going to climb those stairs or ramp. It is a waste of tax payers $$$.

Gov't panders to these people - so these quick rich schemes with housing is going to create more problems
and this was one of the reasons it was shut down close to UWI.

Why do you want to rent this type of container houses to UWI students ?

UWI students are our brightest and our wealth - so do not lower their expectations for a quick dollar.
