What began as a wild sketch in Will Breaux’s notebook became a 3-story, 11-container testament to stubborn imagination. On McGowen Street, his home rises in sharp lines of steel and glass, defying every expectation of what “livable” should look like. Each container was carefully cut, reinforced, and stitched together, turning industrial shells into warm, light-filled rooms.Will wasn’t chasing a trend; he was answering a question: why must homes be fragile, wasteful, and unimaginative? Shipping containers, built to survive oceans and storms, offered strength, fire resistance, and a second life that kept tons of steel from the scrapyard. The result is not just shelter, but a quiet rebellion against conventional building. In a city of brick and siding, his container home stands as a challenge, and an invitation, to rethink what a dream house can be.

Drivers are just discovering that the “E” on some car gear sticks typically stands for “Economy” mode, a setting designed to improve fuel efficiency. When activated, it adjusts throttle response and gear shifting patterns to reduce fuel consumption. This feature helps optimize performance for everyday driving, especially during city commutes or long-distance trips.
