Hilo-based Green Island recently began building a 2,000-square-foot home on the Big Island designed by Honolulu architect Patrick Tozier using four 40-foot containers for a Mainland couple planning to move to Hawai’i.
Several local architects and builders working with containers say commercial home production from the heavy gauge steel boxes is in its infancy in Hawai’i, and that broader development remains questionable given financing difficulty, permitting challenges and possible aesthetic objections.
