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] nzTumblr (3.0; @cargotechture)http://www.cargotecture.co.nz/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m39ohz6uqG1qzpc8so1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Thanks to Nath for this - EcoTech Modular Homes in Nelson, New Zealand.</p>http://www.cargotecture.co.nz/post/22090063248http://www.cargotecture.co.nz/post/22090063248Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:39:00 +1200<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jyGH_6KuBwI?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Big Ideas For A Small Planet (Part 1)</p>http://www.cargotecture.co.nz/post/15636951645http://www.cargotecture.co.nz/post/15636951645Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:28:38 +1300<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wxISn6DpA6Q?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Right here in Christchurch, New Zealand, web developer Marek Kuziel is building his new family home.
