There once was an old woman who lived in a shoe; unfortunately, it was extremely impractical in that it wasn't very spacious and always smelled of feet. We think she would've been much more at home in the U.S.'s first Mid-rise container building, slated to be finished by March 2009 in Salt Lake City. The project, City Center Lofts, designed by container architecture expert Adam Kalkin, is considered eco-friendly thanks to it being constructed from 50% recycled content. Not only is this eight-unit super-condo located to plenty of Downtown SLC amenities, but is has a few added features of it's own such as on demand water heaters, a green roof, tons of natural light and ventilation, and high performance windows. Did we mention the ground level will house an art gallery. Sounds like paradise on earth, minus the swimming pool. Now, I wonder if the folks who move in get first dibs on displaying their art in the gallery?
