Used Materials and Technics Steel framing and container

Houses built on the basis of a standard 12 m container. The goal is to take advantage of the container (speed of construction, hermetic and resistant structure) but to make it disappear completely. In a modern and tropical style, the use of natural local materials allows to create double skins which insulate the house.

The agency was in charge of the entire project:

  1. Concept and design of the house.
  2. Site monitoring and administrative procedures.
  3. Design and manufacture of furniture and decoration.

"An ideal living space with infinite possibilities".
