Steel Storage Containers as Dorms in Amsterdam

8 July 2010

Posted by Edra,

While steel storage containers as houses aren’t exactly that new of a concept nowadays, building a whole dormitory complex out of these recycled shipping containers is another thing. Pioneered by the Dutch for a housing complex for students in Amsterdam, the Project Keetwonen is really something groundbreaking.Every unit here is made with 45’ steel (not wood or resin), heavy-weight, industrial shipping containers, which are all well insulated, has complete amenities (including kitchen, bathroom, and ventilation), and with high speed internet connection, making it all worth the costs. They even have platform for a balcony!Sure, the rates may be different from other student dormitories in the area, but having almost a nice, cozy home while going to the university is really a great way to get through college life. Now, wouldn’t you wish your college dorm was even remotely close to those gorgeously designed and planned student housing complex?
