Not wood, more like anti-wood Home, but interesting

This man wanted a house that could stand winds and hurricanes and be environmentally friendly.

It can stand 600 mph winds, acceleration forces to 7 Gs, storms, and uses no wood and is made entirely of recycled materials. The insulation will keep the inside comfortable when its -50C outside.

The man took a retired and scrapped Boeing 727 and made it into a house. Read the story.

It seems it's not all that uncommon. I remembered a posting in the past that I thought was the same, but it was a different plane, but still a 727.

They must make the best homes.

Nice and certainly A+ for recycling. Space planning kinda gets a workout when all you have is one long hallway

Those are pretty cool. I think 8 or 10 shipping containers might give you more design possibilities, but there is a lot that can be done with a straight shot open floor plan. Consider Air Force One. Looks pretty stylish to me.

Most structures do pretty well with fair winds around 100 to maybe 140 mph in gusts.
It's when these structures get hit or penetrated by flying debris or storm surge that they start failing. Their failure adds to debris and effects surrounding structures. Pretty much a domino effect.

I doubt a few penetrations would effect the plane as bad as it would a typical construction home, but storm surge would tear it from it's moorings easily enough. With a Plane plan home, location would be everything.

That's got me thinking, considering the exterior design, I wonder if there are critical decisions made as to the physical orientation of the plane when placing it in it's position. Stuff like wind direction.

eight or ten shipping containers don't have built-in insulation, plumbing, windows, and HVAC ducting. Nor are they air tight and have a large continuous open area. Or a built-in patio (wings). Or a cockpit with a 270 panoramic degree view to use as your personal work/reading/meditiation lounge. Something to consider...

I don't know the dimensions, but a 727 may have a wider interior than a container.
