From Lloyd Segal
Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association:

Starburst House in Joshua Tree. My first nomination of 2024 for creative house design goes to the Starburst House. Situated on a 10-acre plot of land in Joshua Tree National Park, the Starburst House is a custom container home nestled into the rocky mountainside. Formed out of 21 shipping containers, the three-bedroom home features 2,000 square feet, including a spacious kitchen and a living room. The designer, Robert Whitaker oriented each container to enhance the views across the landscape, adjust the intensity of light entering the house, and provide the residents with some privacy. Boosting the eco-friendly vibe, a carport roofed in solar panels serves as the house power supply. Melissa McFadgen, principal architect at NAC Architecture, estimates the normal life span of a shipping container is 25 to 50 years. “A life span of a shipping container used for cargo at sea can be 10 to 12 years. Consider that, at sea, the shipping containers are subjected to the harshest conditions of the elements and use. But when maintained and implemented properly, the life span can be extended significantly.” Overall,
the life span depends on the environment they’re in and how well they’re maintained. Explained Whitaker, “The Forth Bridge in Scotland is made out of steel and still working 134 years after completion.” The size of container structures is the most obvious drawback. “A shipping container is typically quite narrow, eight feet—not a great size for living in,” said Whitaker. “People sometimes get around this by putting containers next to each other, but then there is [the issue of] how to join them.” She noted that there can be logistical challenges. “The base shipping container module is not conceived with the need of running electrical or plumbing infrastructure within and between units,” says Whitaker, “There’s no real reason why they should get hotter than any other building if properly insulated and ventilated. If attention isn’t paid to the local climate, and the design tailored accordingly, then a container is as susceptible to overheating or cooling, just as any other building.”
