it's that time of the month again, kittens -- time for WHORANGE'S monthly pad.

this month's pad comes to us from kansas city, missouri.  owned by toy accessory designer, debbie glassberg, this airy 2600-square foot pad is filled with turquoise walls and exhibitionist-friendly floor-to-ceiling windows.

and, it is constructed entirely out of five shipping containers.  yes, shipping containers!

my first experience with the "shipping-container-as-home" concept was at the dwell on design show three years ago.  the 500-square foot container was, well...a big, metal container.  i have to admit, i didn't quite see the grand vision, but now that i've witnessed this turquoise palace, the humble container has earned my respect.  period.
