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.
Shipping Container Housing Guide Containerhaus | Mobilheim | Mobilhaus 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. View all We think the Port-a-bach is something much more than that as it offers many possibilities beyond the remarkable list of relocatable homes above. Share

Shipping container architecture The Nomadic Museum is composed of 152 shipping containers.

Casa Cúbica – A Tiny Container Home Cúbica has designed Casa Cúbica, a compact dwelling built from a 20-foot shipping container. A 20-foot container has just 160 ft2 of space but Cúbica stretches it out with a short extension at one end. They market it mainly as a vacation home that sleeps up to four. However it would also be suited for full-time living by a single person or a couple, being complete with a kitchenette, full bath and even laundry facilities.” - Small House Bliss Read and see more of Casa Cúbica, a tiny container home 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. Därför höll hon inte tillbaka någonting när det var dags att bygga hennes eget. 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.
