Last month I stopped by Steel and Spark to check out their ADUs and discovered they're up to much more than I originally thought. One of the interesting models they currently have available is called the X-wing, an innovative housing solution that is 100% solar powered. In this video I give a behind the scenes look at Steel and Spark and an X wing they currently have under construction. Watch to learn more about Steel and Spark, a prefab company in Phoenix building innovative housing solutions out of shipping containers.

I like the fact that each of the doors in the X Wings (on the drawings) are opposing. It gives a sense of privacy. Huge pat on the back to this company on many levels.

Really interesting concept, and I can see how useful it would be after a disaster or for homeless folks.

Great design they’re thinking ahead. Just one thing kind of stuck in my mind, they are designed to be hosed down inside after the occupant leaves.

They're definitely serious about their shipping container design! I'd be curious to know the cost of the ADU version. Interesting business and video... Thanks Kerry

@KerryTarnow 18 дней назад

The ADU is 185k

Interesting. I'm assuming the sandblasting removes all the toxic chemicals from the container's anti rust coating

@CricketsBay 16 дней назад

I would hope so. I wonder how they dispose of the anti-rust coating and ensure their workers are not exposed to toxic dust.

Kerry, I anticipate in short order you will in fact be the smartest guy in the room about prefab homes. You keep pulling together details and have great conversations that add significant value to this industry. So may I thank for that. You could be construed as the Wikipedia of PreFab. I've learned aspects I hadn't thought of previously in literally every single video. That mighht be just cuz I'm dumb or maybe because you elicit quality information. You can take your pick.

@RealBillyGarcia 19 дней назад

❌🪽 = 🏅👍 All it needs is a mini/micro fridge and a cook top. A fold down toilet that’s connected to local sewage is one idea but I think they’re trying to avoid plumbing. So I guess they’d use some public port-a-potties for each X-Wing. 🚽 Nice follow up Kerry. 😎

@KerryTarnow 18 дней назад

Hey Billy. Great ideas!

@CricketsBay 16 дней назад

A composting toilet in each unit might solve that problem. Most people don't (or refuse to) understand how they work though.

Kerry, did you already show the shared bathrooms for the X wings? Vitally important to the possible future residents of these for safety reasons.

@SethiusAlpha 5 дней назад

I've been looking for a solution similar to the x-wing for a dormitory I want to build. The bathroom (with shower) issue is a deal-breaker, but if that got solved, we'd be in the right neighborhood.

What I love about shipping containers is the possibility to cut down on transport cost (I assume they can be shipped via train?) I’ve read about the problems with insulation & moisture but hope the robot use will make container living affordable. SOON.

@CricketsBay 16 дней назад

I have questions about the insulation/condensation as well. Phoenix in 125°F? Portland, Maine when it's -40°F? Solar-powered heating and cooling is great, until it can't keep up with the power demands due to the temperature outside.

@__WJK__ 19 дней назад

I can see these being very appealing to those with basic/utilitarian needs but don't really see them outselling other tiny home options. They're also a bit pricey, considering bathrooms (of all things) aren't included. Plus, based on their large size and weight, it looks like they could incur additional (substantial) shipping/placement costs, which would add to the purchase price.

@KevinSmith-qi5yn 3 дня назад

I wonder about the practicality of using shipping containers. The end product life cycle of a shipping container is as a steel box which can be re-cast. By adding various construction adhesives and spray foam insulation, the end product life cycle is significantly more complicated as those cannot be present when re-casting. I wonder if there are more sustainable and cost-effective options than shipping containers. This is especially true in Arizona where the metal would require more thermal management. Shipping containers by their design has a limited life span, so they wouldn't exactly outlast a standard building construction. As an emergency shelter, its deployment is limited to areas with road access. Considering the temporary nature of emergency shelters, lighter options may make more sense.

@haljordan1575 19 дней назад

If you're not solving the cost of owning a home, you're not really bringing a solution, you're just repackaging the problem.

So many prefab/modular places out there. Too bad most of their homes aren't actually available to buy.

@DKilgallen 19 дней назад

The cost comes out to around $440 a square foot. They have to make these affordable. If building a traditional home is much less expensive then what would drive someone to spend more on these? 160 sq ft. For $70,000. I can have a 675 sq ft. Cottage built for $40,000. I know! Just have a cottage built and don’t worry about how much these cost! But it just bothers me that they’d rent more affordable. Hence, the reason we don’t see more tiny house villages popping up or cities making changes to local laws to accommodate them.

@jos_t_band3912 16 дней назад

I guess people like the esthetic of the containers. Recycling etc. The idea of it.

@DKilgallen 16 дней назад

@heartofodds 19 дней назад

Honestly, can't imagine why people don't just put up a row of bungalows, or little square box houses(least where it's easy code-wise or people on board). There's not nearly enough. They should just turn standard lots into two small homes, something like that, spread the people out to minimize things people don''t like for their prop. val.

@CricketsBay 16 дней назад

Honestly, if they turned every renovatable (is that a word) "abandoned" building in my city into Affordable Apartments, it would solve our Housing Crisis here completely. But the city doesn't want to solve the Housing Crisis. There's 1 owner who has about 15 large, vacant apartment buildings in the city of Omaha. He won't rehab. them, the city won't confiscate them and renovate them, so that's 100's of apartments that exist, but nobody can rent them.

@Dakktyrel 5 дней назад

Totally silent "production" floor is not inspiring for growth. I'd be interested to know how they ensure the containers are not contaminated, as this is a fairly large and undocumented problem when buying the containers. Lastly, it's surprising to see an Arizona company 100% relying on solar panels. We already have multiple instances where mild hailstorms completely destroy solar panels or entire solar fields. With insurance companies and solar companies not assisting in replacements this would render these units useless in the AZ summers.

@AdaptableAutonomousHouse 19 дней назад

I don’t understand why such a smart person would need containers. Use laser-cut-and-assembly frame instead

@CricketsBay 16 дней назад

Recycling. Also, why are they using cutters with blades that can get stuck? Why not use laser cutters on the steel containers?

@CricketsBay 16 дней назад

Or plasma cutters?

@M13x13M 6 дней назад

A housing solution 20x the cost of a traditional apartment housing and they don’t meet building codes. You need to look at total cost per sq ft. Including land cost. The land cost makes any building under 3 stories uneconomical.

But homelessness doesn’t occur next to acres and acres of afordable land. Cities need some more density than that.
