  1. Habitat is not made from shipping containers. (Unless they were making containers from precast concrete in '67.) I cant imagine why anyone would want to live in a shipping container. The proportions are terrible for living spaces. To rectify that you must modify/customize them beyond what any reasonable logic would allow. Insulation? Windows? Doors?

It is a a shipping container cabin designed to be packed with everything needed to build it and air lifted to some remote location. https://thomortiz.tumblr.com/post/143108198216/jones-partners-architecture-wes-jones

  7. If this application is to protect I-Joist floor framing then joints are not required to have tape or compound. Have a look at page 3: I Joist Fire Protection.pdf

  10. In your materials library you should find "Opening (no material)"
  11. There is one in the "Design Style No.1 Maximalism / Biophilia" library https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/1148 It's named "Sigmund" instead of Eames
