Artist builds his Savannah studio with shipping containers
Architect, artist, designer Julio Garcia had been designing plans for shipping container homes for a decade before he found the perfect place to build one: on a long, narrow stretch of his property in Savannah, Georgia. “I’m a big believer we should be adapting to the environment… I remember walking out and looking at the yard and thinking oh my god the land is calling for this linear design.”
He picked up two 40 foot shipping containers from the Port of Savannah and, thanks to much advance planning, he was able to install them without removing one tree from his property. He offset the two boxes, cut out the interior container walls and added I-beams, a shed roof and clerestory windows in the center to provide plenty of daylighting.
“There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re inside a container so in the design we had to address that. I’ve been in a couple of projects and they don’t function very well and you’re like, ‘Oh, I still feel like I’m in a metal box’.”
Garcia believes containers can make for affordable homes: “you could put up a structure like this for about 50K”, but much of the interior was salvaged from other job sites (i.e. the drywall and the kitchen). His Price Street Projects creates plans that are “almost do-it-yourself plans” for shipping container homes and he has installed commercial container spaces, but he’s a big believer that the site should determine the design.

Top 10 reasons NOT to move to Savannah, Georgia. Paula Deen made the list
Top 10 reasons NOT to move to Savannah, Georgia. Paula Deen made the list.
Savannah is my favorite place to visit in Georgia. The town is filled with great people, great food and great history. It would have been easier to make a list about reasons to move to Savannah but sadly people don't watch positive videos. I probably will anyway in the near future. This city deserves it.

Sherman's Headquarters (Savannah GA)
The Green-Meldrim Mansion
This impressive house was built on Madison Square for cotton merchant Charleston Green, but its moment in history arrived when it became the Savannah headquarters of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman at the end of his 1864 March to the Sea. It was from this Gothic-style house that the general sent his now infamous (at least, in Savannah) Christmas telegram to President Lincoln, offering him the city as a Christmas gift. Now the Parish House for St. John's Episcopal Church, the house is open to the public. The former kitchen, servants' quarters, and stable are used as a rectory for the church.

Inside The Pirates' House Buffet Restaurant Savannah, Georgia
The Pirates' House was built on a plot of land located on the east side of James Oglethorpe's original plan of the city of Savannah. The plot of land was assigned to become a botanical garden that modeled the Chelsea Botanical Garden in London, England. The garden was dedicated to Oglethorpe's Trustees. Oglethorpe recruited botanists from around the world to acquire plants for the project such as cotton, spices, indigo, and medicinal herbs. The garden was hoped to bring success in the wine industry and silk industries, and was centered around growing mulberry trees. The soil and weather conditions of Georgia was not compatible with the mulberry trees and it was not successful with wine or silk. However, it did distribute peach trees which Georgia is currently renowned for. The garden was also highly successful in growing cotton which later became a staple of Georgia's economy.
A small building which later became the starting structure of the Pirates' House was built on the plot of land in 1734 to house the gardener who worked there. This building was deemed the Herb House and is said to be the oldest building in the state of Georgia.
In 1754 the people of Savannah decided the need for the botanical garden was no longer relevant. Savannah was quickly becoming a port town and The Herb House was transformed into an Inn and tavern for seaman visiting from abroad.[2] The Pirate's House Inn constantly hosted seaman, pirates and the underbelly of the society; in time, it earned a reputation of being a place the general public avoided.
It did not earn this reputation by rumor. Many drunken sailors have gone missing from the Pirates' House. Captains that were in need of men often came to the Pirates' House to find drunken, vulnerable sailors. Many of these sailors traveled here from distant lands on merchant ships. If they went missing in Savannah it would be difficult to find what happened to them. Savannah is home to many underground tunnels and the Pirate's House is the entrance to one of them.
These tunnels are thought[by whom?] to have been built for different times for different purposes. A portion of the tunnels are said to have been built during the yellow fever epidemic that took place in Savannah during the 1800s to hide the bodies of the dead from the general public. The other tunnels were possibly used as hideouts in the underground railroad system. Another section of tunnels found under a hospital in Savannah is thought[by whom?] to have been used as a morgue.[3] In the cellar of the Pirates' House there is a tunnel, now sealed off, that, purportedly, leads to the Savannah River. According to a tour guide(by the name of Chris)with Old Savannah Tours, hard liquor had been prohibited by law in Savannah and the cellar of the Pirate's House was originally used to smuggle barrels of rum into the city. City officials were, supposedly, aware of the presence of the contraband, but were given free access to the libation in exchange for their silence on the matter.
Savannah Bungalow With Wraparound Porch in Thunderbolt | Georgia | Small House Design
This modest bungalow sits on a quiet tree-lined street in Thunderbolt, Georgia, a picturesque fishing village just a few miles from downtown Savannah. The small house has been renovated by the owner and turned into a vacation rental.
The public spaces are arranged along the left side, with the living room in front, the dining space in the middle and the kitchen at the back. The other side of the house has two bedrooms with a spacious bathroom in between. The exact size is unknown but we estimate it to be a comfortable 800 to 900 ft2 (74 to 84 m2).
The bungalow is now air conditioned, but originally the wraparound porch would have been the main living area during hot, humid weather. The porch can be accessed from both the living and dining rooms, and is wide enough to place groupings of furniture while leaving space for people to pass. Since these photos were taken, the owner has also added a screened porch off the back bedroom.
The large backyard is shaded by a 250-year-old oak tree dripping with Spanish Moss. The new screened porch likely improves access to the backyard as there previously was no back door at all, however it would be nice to have a door from the kitchen as well.
The bathroom is very big and even has space for a large armoire. Given the size, the room was likely used for something else before being turned into a bathroom. The laundry facilities are located in the kitchen, with the machines concealed behind a curtain in a built-in niche.
To rent this bungalow, please visit Airbnb. Enjoy the photo tour!

Where To Stay In Savannah, Ga: Weekend Getaway at B Historic Savannah
Now that summer is in full swing, it is time to start planning your fall weekend getaway. If you’re looking towards October, Savannah is one of our favorite destinations. Georgia’s oldest city is particularly charming this time of year (temps and humidity have both come down) and the price-point is friendly for multiple budgets. Rich in history and bedecked in Spanish moss and gorgeous Antebellum architecture, Savannah is a cultural treasure chest. And there are activity options for all types: from ghost tours of Bonaventure Cemetery to savoring the craft cocktail scene or checking out an exhibit at the SCAD Museum of Art.
When it comes to booking a hotel, check out the B Historic. It’s a boutique property on a quiet, oak tree lined street in the cobblestoned downtown historic district. We love the vibe, where classic Southern elegance coexists with refreshingly modern interior design. Rooms are comfortable and spacious and come with designer furnishings, mini beverage coolers, 47-inch TVs and Blissful Beds. There is also an awesome indoor saltwater pool and a fitness center.
Walking Around Forsyth Park Savannah Ga 31401
Forsyth Park is over 30 acres in the heart of the Savannah Historic District and was named after Georgia Governor at the time of the expansion in 1851, John Forsyth.
The park is bordered by Park, Drayton, Whitaker, and Gaston streets, is home to the Confederate Memorial, a half shell theatre, tennis courts, basketball courts, a cafe, two playgrounds, and ample room for sports and events. However, people from all over come to see it’s a most famous asset: the Forsyth Fountain.
Modeled after the fountains found in Place de la Concorde in Cuzco, Peru, it was added to the North end of the park in 1858. Forsyth Park is home to the Farmer’s Market every Saturday, a site for concerts during the Savannah Jazz Festival, a host to free movies in the park every few months and the destination for all kinds of festivals and special events throughout the year.
But you don’t have to wait for an event to try it out. Bring a good book and a blanket, and spend a sunny afternoon under the shade of an oak tree.
