Building on the idea that the unit will be a stacked unit with living space over work/garage space to service the tree farm, it is proposed that the work/garage space would be created from a shipping container and would be rented with the site by the occupant. The occupant would own the living levels to be stacked on top of the garage/work space. This would take advantage of the modular component of the living space. If the owner chose to go to live and work somewhere else, the living spaces could easily be transported and relocated to a new site.
Because the base of the living unit is proposed to be a shipping container, the dimensions of the housing unit are all based off standard shipping container dimensions from the World Shipping Council. Utilization of two "40 High" units side by side for the garage level is proposed, resulting in a 16" wide unit, 40' long, and 9'6" high lower level.
A proposed unit was developed to site on top of the garage level of similar proportions. Each level would be a "double side" dimension of a shipping container so that a two level home would consist of 4 pre-fabricated sections that would be brought to the site.
An initial proposal for the site alignment of the units would be in line with the rows of trees for ease of access to the farm from the garage level.
Thanks so much for this information. I have to let you know I concur on several of the points you make here and others may require some further review, but I can see your viewpoint.
