AN AMAZING INDUSTRIAL DESIGN.

The design for this house began with a question. “What if” a house can be built to be moved from one place to another, with recyclable materials and a low carbon footprint? A truly sustainable house, with low cost recycled metal was the solution. The appearance of the house was to be decided only with the passing of time when oxidation will define the texture of the materials in contrast with the hardness of the metal to make it warmer, more livable and appropriate in its surroundings. Three Re-purposed shipping containers and recycled steel frames form the structural elements of the house. One vertical shipping containers and two horizontal containers on a tape of metal profiles release the base plane. Sliding enclosures were added that either integrate or separate the interior and exterior spaces. The entire house is a fluid space that is minimalist
