Seatrain by Office of Mobile Design
This 3,000 square foot custom residence playfully is a prefab designed by Office of Mobile Design which uses traditional commercial and industrial materials. Using storage containers and steel found on-site in downtown LA, Office of Mobile Design creates an oasis without abandoning or disguising the industrial landscape that inspired the design and provided the materials.
Situated by the Brewery, a 300 loft live-work artist community, the large panels of glass throughout the house open up the space, allowing natural light to pour in and connecting it to the rest of the artists’ community. In keeping with the artistic spirit of the community in which this house is being built, the project has been a collaborative experiment between the client, Richard Carlson, and the fabricators using a design/build approach where creative and structural decisions were made as the house was being constructed.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.

I love all the plants. Being surrounded by live plant life is soothing and helps to eliminate stress.

I just got a new client the other day by walking inside their pizza joint and showing them how their website looked on my Blackberry. I came back the next day with an example of what it could look like. Sold!
