- The housing crisis is starting to reach a critical point in west London. Families on lower incomes struggle to afford the astronomical rents and people in traditionally well paid jobs cannot afford to buy.
In this video we visit QED Sustainable Urban Development and Ealing Council, who are working together to help people in need of emergency accommodation in the west London area. Making use of fallow land and brownfield sites, the project focuses on modifying stock piled shipping containers into modular homes that can be ported between temporarily available spaces.
We look at the tech behind the buildings and why up-cycling shipping containers appears to be the best solution to homing people quickly and cheaply. We also look into what the future may hold for modular housing and how you may soon be able to design and order your own.
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.
This idea really stacks up, it’s so great I can hardly contain myself.
Eye roll.
I was here first
It’s such a great idea, it should be shipped everywhere.
The joke doesn't corrode over time
your such a comedian you should be on UK's got talent!
Clever
The housing crisis in the UK has been maintained in order to keep property prices artificially high in order to keep the landowners, landlords in the lifestyle that they're used to. Empty houses not being rented out as people wait for the price to increase. When people think outside the box and come up with ideas like this, and tiny houses which is now increasing in popularity around the world but not in the UK, are met with rejection and Victorian property rules! I would love to live in one of these, if I didn't live in Cambridge!
I've Been talking about this as the most effective solution for twenty years, only to be met with rejection. Well done Ealing council.
They'd look much nicer if they were partially surfaced with a bamboo plank veneer.
The commentator at the 16:33 mark stated that container could be used to build prisons. If effort isn't taken to beautify these units to facilitate pride of residency/ownership with community space, they will quickly turn into prison units that you might find in any slum.
Containers are very sturdy and reliable.
These container projects are very inventive and a perfect solution.
Very sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to building materials. Way to go!
Brilliant little mini-documentary on these containers. Very cool company
This is so awesome! I hope this idea spreads over England!
Prefabs was the other 'temporary fix for last housing crisis. Many are now grade II listed and have outlived 'permanent' accommodation.
Ridiculously good inside. Brick cladding was good. Roof material looks noisy (hail) and ugly, a mock rooftop would really help.
The exteriors are generally stark, fake greenery and lighting, blackouts on the windows could make these immense spaces. Huge potential. Re-use was a massive gain.
What an amazing idea, I love it. I would definitely live in one of these. I would give up my property to move in. As an artist, I see the beauty in these. Well done Ealing a real solution to a terrible and ongoing problem.
Quite recently a report on this came out the residents dont like them as they are inside falling to bits and the interior is being built by a low cost bidder, and large families are forced into them,
Forced? Why are they large in this day and age? That is self indulgent, impractical and naive in the 20th/21st century. Can't people see that austerity governs the land. People are seen as excess baggage. We must wake up and stop being the nasty hordes.
Interesting to hear that these are intended as 'meanwhile sites' with a life of ten years. Just like the prefab houses were a short term measure after WW2 but were still occupied in the 1980's, over 40 years later. I think once in place these will be used for considerably longer than ten years.
well said !!
And to my mind nothing wrong with that as they are creating homes and of a a far higher standard than B&B and standard building regs!
You're right. The last occupied nissen hut was shut down in the eighties.
Of course this will be the case because the conditions causing them to resort to using containers will not change
@@tayokarate except the construction brief is for a ten year design life so they will need significant refurbishment or replacement after ten years.
I have lost count of the number of boarded up council properties i have seen over the years in the borough of Hackney that to this day remain untouched and these people have the nerve to suggest that there is a housing crisis in London.
Unfortunately, if you decide to build something like this on your own land, it's going to be a NO NO from local council. You can't do anything on YOUR OWN land in this country....
Definitely one way to help to solve the housing crisis. Feeling inspired to one day doing this myself.
Should be land available for tiny houses and these then no homeless and gives alternative lifestyle those wanting to go off grid or just save money
Cindy T instead of fixing income inequality let’s just stuff people into a large rubbish bin. Brilliant idea.
@@winstonsmith3370 lol what? fixing income inequality isn't easy, this is. I would rather a quick easy alternative to my current situation rather than relying on some politician to somehow get my wages high enough to afford an actual house.
Most expensive part of to buy somewhere to live is the land itself , in London , Sydney, new York and etc which the land's price are very expensive (70%land , 30% construction itself ) talking about cut building cost a little bit down is not really solution for housing problem.
this is a great idea for permanent housing, affordable rent
Very Nice
Homes!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing ideas 💡
The vampire Real estates and constructors in UK will find way to still make these expensive. Not talking about buying a land, and good luck getting the building permit.
You must go to HM Land Registry through adverse possession on vacant land to transfer permanent property for tiny house and shipping container home.
This a great solution.
Really enjoy these in depth videos.
Thanks!!
temporary? it will be permanent for next century :D
Its just the phrasing by law
Its like in the same class as a caravam
Caravan*
Well there's always gonna be a need for helping the homeless
Lol i think im gana have one in my garden as a gym 👍🏻
Why no living rooms, storage space, wardrobes etc, these things are essential where people are dealing with additional issues and difficulties. You need to factor in some sort of respite space and consider the phycological impact. How long is temporary! How long does it take before living in these confined spaces starts to impact on mental health? What has been put in place to ensure it doesn't go over this period? What is the effect on children and families??? A very ill-thought out 'plan' when dealing with real human beings with real issues!
As soon as the Belgium Government is seeing the modern times and allowing people to live permanently in shipping containers I selling my "too" bit house and moving into a smaller shipping container. I don't need 4 bedrooms for myself as I'm just single. I can do with a smaller house that may be transportable also if I decide to move jobs on day.
But what their not telling you these days is, I’ve looked at shipping containers, around the world, their are many great designs, but their just so expensive now. Your better of in the country, with a real house, that you can renovate yourself, over time.
But if you have time, to build with a shipping container, and you can do it yourself, then great, but the slab of concrete, that it goes on, and council approval, power and water, you are still looking at a lot of money.
May I ask whether this is also for private individuals?
Unregistered vacant land address can register through HM Land Registry zoning law policy based on Google map publish image data.
3:53 Why do those wooden spoons have the 'rounded end bits' sliced off?
Because they’re spatulas?
I wish this type thinking can come to America
You have the 'tiny house' movement that utilise shipping containers have a google on YT?
Is this the housing people were complaining about being put in when they immigrated here and were waiting to be processed/housed??
yes
what about the rent prices especially for students,is the container houses available outside london
That's an interesting topic. We discussed this on another video, filmed with a tiny house builder who is very interested in making cheap homes for students. There are various planning issues that seem to be making this type of thing difficult in the UK currently.
5:28 great magic trick with that monitor.... TAKE THE DAMN STAND OFF REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
theres nothing wrong with contina homes some people may need 2/3 containers for extra bedrooms.thumbs up fod uk well done no shame keep building them
May i move in 1 of those houses
HM Land Registry through adverse possession on vacant land and address name & public map system must legal data registration to turn into permanent property for tiny house and shipping container home
Cannot understand why "prefabs" that were used very successfully during and after the war are not still used?
Put people into steel boxes. Then you can crane them out onto ships.😁
Twenty years...try more like sixty years. Its going to take a 1920's style depression to correct the market or 60 years for wage pressure to push wages to a level where it feasable. A starting wage of 100 dollars an hour might do it.
It is one of the excellent designs aside from the materials used from numerous industries, be it for factories or for residential. The developers anticipate tge importance of durability, as well as the importance of reliability of the structures wherein it is footed and established, fulcrum, nuts and bolts based, where it won't be drifted away by hurricane or tornado, while the floors are lifted designed in anticipation of flood/can be amphibian types as well at times. The ventilation system are also good, since it has exhaust fans that can remove the excess heat as demonstrated by the employee/construction engr.

HM Land Registry for tiny house and container home and hobbit house is very important address name and data registration for future.
CONTAINER BUNGALOWS TO BUILT IN ESSEX .......IF ONLY ! MY FLAT WOULD BE UP FOR SALE AND MY NAME DOWN ON A BUNGALOW LIST IN A HEART BEAT . ITS THE ANSWER I THINK TO ACHIEVING A BUDGET HOME TO FIT A SINGLE PERSONS WAGE . OUTSIDE SPACES HELP OUR DAY TO DAY HEALTH BUT IN A FLAT YOUR SO CONFINED. A DREAM BUT A PROPERTY DEVELOPER WITH BALLS COULD MAKE THIS A REALITY .
Here’s an idea, let’s cram all the people in London into shipping crates and just stack them all up in piles, no not the well to do people, they will still live in their gardened estates, just the excess people the poor and working class the marginal and immigrant people. We have all these crates just laying around anyway, who needs windows and good air quality. Then the next thing we’ll do is see how many people we can cram into these crates if we stack them up on each other as well. When they die we just bury the whole container or run it through an incinerator and clean it back up for the next lot.
welcome to Ealing council wee everything is done with no care and compassion. were you'll be on the housing register until you reach near death whilst others that waited 2 years have 9 kids and cant speak English get all the new builds such as green man estate . welcome to Ealing were if you have a job and no anti social behaviour issues and have health problems they ll put you in B&B TO B&B at the rate of £370 a week then in turn you end up in debt and then they can tell you you owe them now so they dont have to socially house you. welcome to Ealing were you stand in the cold to see Jillian bell at his Greenford surgery and never actually get to speak to him and his assistance doesn't contact you as promised or even look into your case welcome to Ealing were they tell you who have been born and bread in London to leave your jobs and schools and go live in Yorkshire were you know no one or nothing. welcome to Ealing were racial tensions rares its ugly head because ole skool folk black and white are not getting housed and all the newbies are! welcome to Ealing where the housing officers are mostly rude careless use stalling tactics and sometimes laugh in your face believe me this is true!. welcome to Ealing were they alLow bed and breakfast landlords to mistreat people even take peoples be;longings and keep them on pee stained mattresses welcome to Ealing the hub of west London.
Cool story bro
UK Business in the US they let you die on the street in woods wherever, the lucky ones in homeless shelter most of them have jobs but can’t afford to pay rent.
I do think people with a long term connection with a neighbourhood should get priority. Absolutely and totally! We also need to make some tough decisions about rapid unsustainable population growth. Net immigration figures now need to be in the minus.
Denise Scally absolutely, too many people and not enough resources but the religious lunatic don’t believe or what any type of birth control. Most people don’t realize how the crops across the globe have been faulting due to weather, last season was the worst we’ve had, too many people and not enough food to go around. No food no home means civil unrest and more migration!
no one can afford to live in a london on a normal salary, why should the taxpayer pay for people who have lived in the area and for some reason feel the government should cover the increased cost of living.
Container is bulletproof earthquake proof & termite proof n on topof it allits movable . No wastage .
Guy looks like Alfie Solomons
Low cost Container home and tiny house only invest 5 million pounds to tackle homelessness. Uk Government funding investment to build social house & accommodation need 1.2 billion. pounds. Meanwhile government funding provide social house & public housing must pay rental month. Shipping container home or tiny home with adverse possession & squatting law on vacant land without landlord rental are very lucrative and very fair.
HM Land Registry and zoning law policy for town and country planning Act 1990 and adverse possession and planning permission through planning portal application make temporary accommodation transfer to permanent accommodation
Why not help people to build cob housing by themselves, for themselves. All it takes is mud and straw, can last a thousand years, sustainable housing- unlike metal containers.
If it doesn't fill their coffers, they're not interested. The only way they can stay ahead is by holding others back.
Affordable homes is bull all the time minimum wage is stagnant and 0 hour contracts exist. Work precariousness keeps people renting, many politicians are landlords and there's no incentive to really help the working class because they need to exploit them for profit.
Looks like LPS 2.0
Well, no wonder why housing crisis hits UK. Looking at UK modern houses made of crap and prices... 3 bedroom house made of bird poo and sticks cost minimum 300k. Well, in London probably 1mln... But no worries price includes extra feature in form of damp. I like idea of containers but mark my words, cities will turn in to Containerotopolises with rats (us) living in them. If controlled by gov we will be looking at container (single) house for 300k...
Lol. Demolish blocks of flats, then stack up some old shipping containers for people to live in instead...
I'm fed up with unrealistic beaurocratic talk about affordable housing. Although the QED man talks sense. Housing is human right and should be free/cost price.
Town and country planning in the United kingdom can apply for permanent land use right and planning permission through HM Land Registry zoning law policy and planning portal based on Google map publish image data registration and unregistered vacant land address data registration will make shipping container home temporary accommodation transfer to permanent accommodation.
Problem is u end up with a cheap block of flats, that nobody wants, people don’t want to live on top of each other, people want space, rich people buy these , then they do them up as a dream home, this is what people want, not a cheap fix
Containers are a joke, we should be building decent houses. The housing crisis is a joke too because because there is actually a job location crisis, move the jobs by tax differences. There is plenty of cheap land and empty houses even in the south east.
why are you not producing them from UK, why china.
Well, they are really a byproduct of everything else being made in China.
Meanwhile we appropriate empty millionaire properties?
When will all this stop ? Is this how we will continue to dehumanize human beings ? At this rate one day people will have to pay rent to stand where they are
Just put a fucking cap on rent. How is it that difficult?
It is clever but also so cold and sterile. This surely beats homelessness or living in squalor but at the same time, it feels dehumanizing.
Shut up
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover build your own shipping container home try Sovallo Container Build Fixer (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
A better way to improve housing in London is get rid of that crime supporting mayor. However, if people living in the lower cost housing estates would stop trashing it up, that might also help.
Should we regulate landlords and house builders? No, everyone else must adjust to protect their profits. lmao.
Low cost Container home and self-sustainability purchase tiny house through adverse possession & land tenure & squatting law on vacant land can tackle homelessness. Stop borrowing 1.2 billion money from others to invest house. We thought that these borrowed & loaned people never returned the money or never paid bank money to others. That was immoral action. No integrity. Future will lost friend.
They are super hot in summer and freezing in the winter, but sure let’s all move into them.
Ghastly, dystopian state of the UK.
. . . and her rebellious daughter country, the US. If you look close enough in the US, you'll see it and not everyone struggling w/ housing has schizophrenia, drug addiction or PTSD. It's working people. In Tennessee, people live in their cars to keep a job that they have to drive to. Since they don't have public transport, they have to drive to work, meaning keep a car. Hence, choose having a car or a home.
Stop making out tiny homes and container homes are an answer to housing crisis. People shouldn’t have to live in tiny spaces. Everyone should have access to a house. There are more then enough empty houses owned by the wealthy. They need to be filled with families and used. Shipping containers are tiny. Once you put in the stud walls and insulation and floors they are not wide enough or high enough. Plus if you start cutting the shells they lose all structural integrity and rigidity and weather proofing. And you need to brace and alter the frame. The UK is damp and wet and cold. No good for container houses. The government should make empty houses and factories, office blocks, warehouses available to people who truly cannot afford a house. Convert them into homes. Government should take all the empty shops from all the estate agents and use them for families. Not people who are wealthy and decide to downsize and live in a camper van or a tiny house cause it’s cool. You are not solving the problem with container housing. A temporary solution would be utilising empty land space and making more park homes. Static caravans and motor homes for people who cannot afford a house. Static caravans come fully furnished and are bigger than containers. It’s just frowned on by the general public as being common. Containers are old hat and not as good as modern 3D printed composite materials that are being used to build structures in disaster areas. If you fill the cities with metal boxes it will look awful in a few years. No matter how you tart them up.
Immoral action that borrowed & loaned money never returned & paid back with these people will lost friendship.
Controlled immigration would have been sensible. Let's hope Brexit delivers on Immigration control. I can but dream.
Nobby Norberto you’re a bigot, narrow minded and short sited. We live on an island, therefore we need immigrants to come here and do jobs that natives don’t want to do. We need people contributing to the economy. Illegal immigration is a small part and the numbers are negligible in comparison to the numbers that work and contribute. Also, the majority of HNWI ar actually foreign nationals now living in the U.K. - NOT U.K. Nationals. Notice the £ has become weaker since Brexit forecast and the cost of many things such as groceries have risen. The people who will feel the impact of Brexit the most are the low income demographic.
Immigration from the European Union is good. High levels of education and a sense of cultural respect. Outside of the EU, not so much and that’s in general where the problem is. But the UK has always had 100% of control of immigration from outside the EU so brexit isn’t the solution for that really.
@@nunoromeuneto5559 hmmmm no immigrants cross to closest EU country than they can easily enter UK because of open border crap
@@charleane00 No youre narrow minded and short sited
well here's an idea, stop inviting & accepting people coming to our country from every parts of the world who are hoping to get free pass and accomodation and start caring for our very own people who are struggling everyday in this country
Don’t worry guys u can rent climate change bout to sink London by 2100
Why do you think I'm saving for a boat!? Most of Richmond floods when it pees down. And the amount of land being both grabbed and sat on by council! Its ridiculous.
Dont use those Containers , most of them are used in Russia ahaha
stop having so many kids and there wouldn't be a crisis.
The crisis isn't to do with having kids. It's to do with the price of house being so expensive that its out of reach for 40% of the population.
@@4TheRecord crisis is generated to force the reducing of the global population. They want you to spend all your money, they want you to be poor. When you have no solution, you will have less kids. They want this for useless people who cannot generate proffit for the government. We need to have different people, with different expectations...to help the environment. Its no point to have many kids if you dont care about their future. You cannot offer them a good life for 6 kids...if you are a full time worker. You will end up in problems. And that's not maturity. That's why governments need to reduce the overpopulation. Its not helpfull for this planet and for the cost investiment.
@The M Network America is having record low number of children born...
I don't think that's the problem...
Broken families, society morally, emotionally, economically, played and used....problem is way deeper....
Too little too late.
