cool, where is this street?

These shipping container residences are big in Europe, very creative.

Here is an article from WebUrbanist on those types of homes (taking for ever to come up) but the one here in Atlanta is not listed. I might have to cycle by there. I think those types of homes are very cool and a great idea.

Damn, Google Street View skipped that street!

Freitag Zurich

Submitted by fathom on Thu, 09/25/2008 - 12:10.

I was staying near this building in Zurich a while ago that was so amazing-- a tower of shipping containers with a couple sides of the containers knocked out and glassed in. Tall enough that you could see it from blocks away.
Eventually I figured out it was the flagship Freitag store. http://travel.nytimes.com/2006/09/17/travel/17foraging.html
