Gorilla Design – Building Systems and Science
 Core to this solutions is an inordinately strong,
exceedingly functional, and extraordinarily
cost-effective building module.
 From Shipping Containers, Gorilla designs,
builds and markets aesthetically superior
homes guided by:
o Unique, customizable designs that are resource
efficient and self-sustaining;
o Dramatically reduced energy consumption using
emerging and proven systems;
o Use of recycled and/or new and innovative
materials that are highly resistant to natural and
human forces;
o Economical to build and assemble, as well as
capable of disassembly and portability; and
aesthetically comfortable and exceedingly
livable.
The cornerstone of Gorilla Design's building system is the use of recycled ISBU containers
to create structures and exterior shells.

Gorilla Design – Building Systems and Science
 There are many advantages to building with
shipping containers, a few of these include:
o Strength: A 40' container is internationally
engineered to weigh about 9,000 lbs, carry nearly
67,000 lbs of cargo and to be able to withstand 8
containers, all fully loaded, stacked on top of it.
o Reuse: Millions of containers go unused around the
world, they stack up at ports and become an
environmental nuisance taking up valuable
wetlands space. Building from containers reuses a
waste stream resource and decreases the need for
virgin materials.
o Speed of build: Structures arrive and are set quickly
creating a dried-in condition within hours.
o Energy efficiency: If properly designed, the
inherent qualities of the shipping container can
contribute to passive energy efficiency, saving on
heating and cooling costs.
Gorilla is currently focused on shipping container building, but they are also in the
research and development phase for other sustainable building materials as well

The cornerstone of Gorilla Design's building system is the use of recycled ISBU containers to create structures and exterior shells.
  • 8. Confidential Page 8 L A U R U S C A P I T A L I S L L C Private Capital Advisory & Placement Services Gorilla Design – Building Systems and Science  There are many advantages to building with shipping containers, a few of these include: o Strength: A 40' container is internationally engineered to weigh about 9,000 lbs, carry nearly 67,000 lbs of cargo and to be able to withstand 8 containers, all fully loaded, stacked on top of it. o Reuse: Millions of containers go unused around the world, they stack up at ports and become an environmental nuisance taking up valuable wetlands space. Building from containers reuses a waste stream resource and decreases the need for virgin materials. o Speed of build: Structures arrive and are set quickly creating a dried-in condition within hours. o Energy efficiency: If properly designed, the inherent qualities of the shipping container can contribute to passive energy efficiency, saving on heating and cooling costs. Gorilla is currently focused on shipping container building, but they are also in the research and development phase for other sustainable building materials as well
