Home Contained


Debbie Glassberg is not only an amazing raw foods chef, and a known genius in the field of toy design, but she is also the incredibly interesting and creative owner of "Home Contained". Although she was not the first to come up with this ingenius concept, she is one of the very few to introduce the ways of contained living to the United States. Visiting her home (also her test project for the container homes) was to only be discribed as moments of awe. Her house if full of color, inspiration, texture, space, and light. She has planned through the container process just the right way to live, using only the necessary amount of space (by condensing  the essentials) and drastically shrinking the average home costs just simply by being smart. The container house is naturally heated by the sun and the earth. Under the house is a hole that is 150 feet deep to reach the heat. This shrinks costs down to a bare minimum. She really has thought of every single aspect of not only a home but how users and consumers use their homes and implimented that into her designs. She can only be discribed as a genius. Hopefully in the near future we will be seeing a lot more of these container homes when she begins to build for others the wonderful home experience she now resides in.
