Shipping Container and Pre-Fab Home Design

Design your own unique shipping container or modular home

In this practical design course, you’ll create a shipping container or prefab home for a real site—accounting for weather, topography, building codes, budget, and schedule. You’ll tackle the complexities of fitting HVAC, plumbing, electrical, septic, windows, and doors into a steel box, gaining a realistic understanding that goes far beyond glossy magazine spreads. The building science explored in this class is also directly applicable to conventional home design.
