This is a 3 bedroom, 640+ square foot residence, made from two recycled 40 foot high cube containers positioned parallel to each other, with a one meter gap in between and sheared horizontally to create two terrace spaces on both ends of the house. The frontal terrace is covered to create an entrance porch while the one on the rear, serves as a private terrace to the master bedroom. The design uses High cube containers because they are 300mm taller than a standard container. This provides an extra foot of ceiling for insulation without compromising the headroom of the habitable space. This house design is ideal for a small sized family. It you have some extra space in your backyard, it is a good investment as a guesthouse. You can have it listed on Airbnb and earn some extra income.
All the end panel with the original container cargo doors are removed and fitted with full height sliding glass doors. Sliding doors are good space savers compared to swing doors therefore ideal to use in a container house.
To minimize the claustrophobic feel of living in a shipping container, the walls of the living area are finished in monochrome light colored paint. Alternatively, both the walls and floor can be lined with finishes made from eco-friendly materials like bamboo.
The salient features are namely: The entrance porch, the lounge, dining, kitchen, guest bedroom, children bedroom, common bathroom, master bathroom, master bedroom, and a private master bedroom terrace. The one meter gap in between the containers is a design decision to increase the habitable space by an extra 120 square feet of floor-space.
