Damien CHIVIALLE . ENSCI La « ferme-container » est née de ces deux questions. Grâce aux nouvelles technologies de culture (hydroponie et aquaculture symbiotiques) de très bons rendements peuvent être obtenus sur une surface très réduite, et ce de manière écologique (production bio et économe en énergie). L’idée de Damien Chivialle est de disposer sur le toit d’un container, une serre de production pour la protéger du milieu urbain. Conçue comme un jardin partagé «hors sol», l’équipement peut stationner dans la rue en toute tranquillité. Chaque ferme-container permet de produire localement une partie des besoins alimentaires des riverains. Elle veut compléter et dynamiser le tissu existant (jardins partagés, restaurants, récolteurs de matière organique, etc).
Shipping Container Housing Guide The US$55,000 Port-a-bach relocatable home (in a shipping container) - Image 5 of 18 December 1, 2008 The appeal of regularly relocating where we live probably comes from our nomadic origins as a species, and over the years we’ve thrilled at the possibilities of some remarkable constructs designed to enable just that: the Icosa Pod, miniHome, Free Spirit Sphere, Nackros Villa, LoftCube, Trilobis, Kitahaus, and the relocatable sphere house. New Zealand is one of those countries where its near-to-no-one geographic location has created a hotbed of innovation through necessity and the Kiwi-produced Port-a-bach is particularly inventive because it is based around a remanufactured shipping container. As such, the NZD$100,000 (US$55,000) fold-out dwelling is not just rugged due to its natural steel exoskeleton, it’s as easy to transport internationally as it is to transport locally on a standard container truck. It has low environmental impact and can connect to local utilities or be entirely power, water and sewer independent. View all Share
Conversion of a 40ft Shipping Container into an Emergency Home Unit Ceardean Architects where delighted to lead the Ripple Team to achieve the conversion of a 40ft Shipping Container into a Emergency Home Unit for SVDP in 3 days at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in November 2014. The Ripple project is a container fully fitted out as a home with two bedrooms, bathroom, plumbing, kitchen and electrical appliances. The objective of the project was to provide an emergency housing unit for Saint Vincent de Paul, and the aim was to do this using an alternative building system. Every aspect of the project was designed to require minimal specialist input and to facilitate a selfbuilder that does not have a very high level of skill. The project took one week to build and brought together over 60 contractors who donated their time, expertise and labour. The container and all materials used within were donated by suppliers and those involved. Siting and foundations It is crucial that the container is lifted well off the ground. Wall Build Up

Containers of Hope / Benjamin Garcia Saxe Architecture Architects: Benjamin Garcia Saxe Architecture Location: San Jose, Costa Rica Project area: 100 sqm Project year: 2011 Photographs: Andres Garcia Lachner Gabriela Calvo and Marco Peralta dreamed of living in their fantastic property 20 minutes outside of the city of San Jose, Costa Rica; where they could be with their horses and enjoy the natural landscape. They made the very bold choice of exploring with me the possibility of creating a very inexpensive house made out of disregarded shipping containers that allowed them to be dept free and live the life they always dreamed of. It was important for me to provide them with the sunrise, the sunset, the spectacular views, and overall try and create a feeling of comfort and home. The final cost of the house (40,000USD) is lower than the cost of social housing provided for the poor in Costa Rica.
The New Tiny House Trend: Why Shipping Containers Are Having a Moment Right Now Tiny spaces are having a serious real estate moment right now (and we’re not just talking about cramped studios in major cities). People all over the country are choosing small-space living as a lifestyle, from high-end trailers to treehouses and now, shipping containers. If that sounds less than aspirational, prepare for these (sometimes) diminutive dwellings to change your perception. Shipping container architecture The Nomadic Museum is composed of 152 shipping containers. It was constructed to house a photography exhibit in New York City in 2005, was dismantled, and was reassembled in Santa Monica, California, USA in early 2006. Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as structural element, because of their inherent strength, wide availability and relatively low cost. Advantages Strength and durability Shipping containers are in many ways an ideal building material. Modular All shipping containers are made to standard measurements and as such they provide modular elements that can be combined into larger structures. Transport Pre-fabricated modules can also be easily transported by ship, truck or rail, because they already conform to standard shipping sizes. Availability Used shipping containers are available across the globe. Cost Disadvantages Temperature Labour Construction site Building permits Treatment of timber floors Solvents Books

Hon svetsade ihop 4 containrar på sin tomt. När vi ser slutresultatet tappar vi andan! Claudie Dubreuil kommer från Quebec i Kanada och är ingen främling för hållbara byggmaterial. Faktum är att hennes företag, Collections Dubreuil, är stolta över deras sätt att bygga hus och återanvända material på ett ekologiskt hållbart sätt. Hon får dock sällan chansen att visa det fullt ut. De flesta hus Claudie bygger är någorlunda konventionella. Att få tag i containrar var enkelt. Den svåraste delen i hela projektet var att få ingenjören att anpassa dem efter hennes ritningar. Efter att ha kämpat i månader fick hon dem till slut levererade och svetsade på plats. Skillnaden är enorm. Den är lika vacker och modern som utsidan, och de stora fönstrena ger en oslagbar utsikt. Det finns inslag av tegel och trä, och väggen bakom spiraltrappan bidrar verkligen till atmosfären. Trappan leder till övervåning där denna mysiga lyckta hänger. Köket är i bästa skick med all utrustning man kan tänkas behöva. Badrummet har likaså inretts till nya höjder. Gilla Uppskattat för fler liknande artiklar.
MEKA reinvents shipping container housing Shipping containers are wonderful things- for shipping. They are part of an elaborate and extensive infrastructure for moving goods cheaply and efficiently that has revolutionized world trade. They are also all the rage among designers and architects who have been converting them into housing, with varying degrees of success. Then there is Meka. They do not build shipping container housing; they build what I will call housing containers- modules of houses that are built to shipping container dimensions to take advantage of the shipping container infrastructure, without most of the problems that actually arise from working with shipping containers. Where a shipping container is designed with enough steel to stack nine high completely filled with stuff, Meka designs their boxes with just enough steel to do the structural job that is required, while filling in the rest with conventional building materials that cost a lot less, that are easier to work with, and provide some insulation.
