Seth Rodewald-Bates, MLA 2005, is a licensed landscape architect in Mississippi and Louisiana, an associate at Spackman Mossop Michaels, and an adjunct faculty member at Tulane University, where he teaches a course on site strategies. Years ago, Seth's interest in container architecture was piqued during a graduate studio at RRSLA that looked at industrial canals and shipping in New Orleans. Today, Seth and his wife, Elisabeth Davies, live in two, four-ton shipping containers on a narrow lot in Uptown New Orleans. They've been living in the eco-friendly, low-footprint home for a little over a year now. "It's a work in progress, but we love it," Seth said. Their new home has been making headlines, with features in the Times-Picayune and Nola.com. WGNO, the New Orleans ABC affiliate, interviewed Seth about his home last week before the New Orleans Home & Garden Show.
