The homes will be on display from February to May, and after the display run is over, they will be transformed into transitional housing for the homeless.
Shipping containers that have been transformed into apartments will be placed on display near 2nd Street and Roosevelt in Downtown Phoenix in February.
"We have a huge housing crisis, and just having density, having housing available is something that’s important," said Steel and Spark Founder Brian Stark. "This is a concept that can drop in your backyard, and be ready to go."The company takes shipping containers from California, and recycle them into bars, workspaces, homes and more. Their latest venture is to create what they call a ‘Spark Box Park.’ The project is funded with a $1.
"Being able to not need any electricity, and all of it being and coming from the sun, I think, is our greatest resource here in Phoenix," said Stark. "The incinerating toilet saves 2,000 gallons of water, per person, per year."
