Cargotecture

A blog about modular homes and buildings made with up-cycled shipping containers.

Brockdin Barr is a web designer in Christchurch, New Zealand. He lives with his wife and two daughters Bluebell and Willow.

Brockdin Barr doesn't live in a container, he is a homeowner of a Christchurch weatherboard bungalow.

One day he hopes to live in a container house but for now, he's happy just to spread the word.

If you know of any links that aren't here, or just wanna talk about containers, feel free to get in touch. brock [at] catchlight [dot] co [dot] nz
