The shipping container. How much portable can you get?
I think 2 containers with a center covered, screened lanai would be the ideal portable green housing (set up the containers parrell to each other on concrete piers that allow easy on/off loading). 1 container a 2 bed 2 bath unit (if using 40's, 1 bed 1 bath using 20's) the other container a great room with kitchen & 1/2 bath. Between the two would be your covered screen lanai. The bedroom open up to the central screen room. No halls, square rooms, more standard const. Add windows & doors. Easy also to make this fairly hurricane/vandal resistant. (added plus, you can always pack up everything, except the concrete piers & waste containment, into the great room container & ship it out.)
