An architecture firm from Charlotte, North Carolina called Little Diversified Architectural Consulting has turned a vacant parking lot in Dallas into a self-reliant eco-city called the Entangled Bank. The reason of it being self-sufficient is its features that include a green walled citadel that has solar panels, agricultural field, and a greywater treatment and recycling system that provides the city’s residents a sustainable source for food, water, and energy. The green feature of this eco-city does not end here because the structure of Entangled Bank itself is using photovoltaic panels on the southern façade, a series of vertical axis wind turbines.

Containers are generally used in transporting products from one place to another, and when the containers are not desirable for used already, it is normally discarded already. Recycling it and creating wonderful and stylish homes is a good strategy to reduce wastes and landfills created by discarded used containers. The Redondo Beach Container House is one of the elegant and stylish homes made out of used containers. This container home cost far cheaper than those home made of first hand construction materials. Modified containers are already treated and made it mold proof, termite proof, fire proof and is structurally superior to wood framing.
