The Container House has been designed for a family of 4 people (mom, dad, grandma, and son). Five shipping containers have been cut and bent to articulate the spaces. The skylights were the result of that process. They not only allow light and air to come in, but they also tie all pieces together and give the house its character.

My client is a single dad with 2 kids. Both of his children are strategic players, one a chess champ and the other a competitive video gamer. With their main hobbies in mind, I stacked the containers vertically and longitudinally apart. This placement of containers will provide a dynamic circulation throughout their living space.

A Container House designed for a widowed parent and an adult child who are physician with a hobby of collecting stamps and an accountant who enjoys writing in his spare time. The idea was to design separate private spaces for each person with a common public rooms as well as the outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed by the family and visiting guests.

The container house which I designed had a few main parts to my house. These included the three glass extensions which represent movement in my house, from the tall stair case to the second floor bridge that connects the second floor, and also the walkway in the master bedroom. Another design aspect of my house which I decided to keep was the exterior of the shipping containers. The final part of my design was a green roof and a luxurious backyard since my clients are in love with gardening, and the outdoors.
