Story

Nowadays sustainability, efficiency, and reuse of old materials are the most important concerns of any architects in their design to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings. Today many designers and owners are looking for alternative building materials such as shipping containers to reduce construction costs and accelerate construction time. Shipping containers can also be built and prefabricated outside of the construction site and transferred to the site later.
The main concept of a container house is to transform shipping containers into a modern and minimal living space. The 60-square-meter house is made from four 20 feet containers. It is a modern one-bedroom house with one full bathroom, small laundry, kitchen, and living room with a covered front porch. The interior design has a modern white finish, and all the furniture inside the house has its unique design. To harmonize with the interior design, the home exterior is clad in white composite panels.
