"Since we last spoke I have developed the pod to achieve its role as a class room and while keeping it sustainable I have enlarged the size to the maximum that can be carried in one piece on the road."

"The cost of an external finished shell at this size, with two glazed ends and a balcony is UKP95,000. We have made five in the last eight weeks and hence we have two available for sale, although we are expecting those two to go quickly.

"We are now developing the pods to the next concept stage and we're seeking JV partners to develop off grid Eco tourism resorts using the pods on exclusive sites of around twenty units which will be aimed at the 6 star market.

"We would ideally like to have one resort in each of the key eco-tourism destinations around the world including the English Lake District, Southern France, Australia and there are numerous Asian destinations which would suit."

a modern shipping container concept ,,,,,,,,,, steel containers are still the cheapest way to put lowcost emergency housing, offices or workshops on site with minimal preparation,,,,,,,,,, in hot climates, simply put them under a cover of soil or disappear them in a hillside
