The idea of this building originated from a lady who wanted to build a guest house from a shipping container. As Poteet Architects is known from their innovative and adaptive approach of existing buildings and modern interior design, they took the job and build this cosy holiday house for her. The building has a beautiful interior, completed with a shower, a custom stainless sink and a toilet. When working on the project, Poteet Architects\u2019 main idea was to use sustainable methods to make it permanent. The planted roof provides shade and air-flow, the interior is insulated with spray foam and lined with bamboo plywood, the toilet is composting, and the grey water from the sink can be reused to water the roof plants.<\/p>\n
9. Platoon Kunsthalle by Platoon Cultural Development, Berlin<\/h2>\n
Platoon Cultural Development was established in Berlin, in 2000. It runs projects in cooperation with an international community in matters of diverse culture and communication. The program provides a platform to communicate for any people interested in subcultural creative fields. For this reason, they built this center from 33 containers in 2012 which gives a dynamic space where new ideas can be born and presented. The building has a construction that can be rebuild anywhere anythime.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Industrial Zombie designs and manufactures buildings made of shipping containers for homes and businesses. The name zombie came from the definition of the word: \u201eA corpse given life by a supernatural force\u201d. As the firm says, such as supernatural forces that awaken new life in the dead, they use discarded industrial materials and re-imagining them for a higher purpose, basically giving them life. They make unusual structures and also focus on reducing material waste, still achieving the highest design aesthetic. This container home in the picture was made from recycled shipping containers and features two separate structures joined together by an external walkway.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This container guest home is a painting studio made of 2 shipping containers, that connect to the original house. The client wanted an art studio near her house and this was the best solution to accomplish it. The container studio has so large windows that natural light can easily makes its way in, making it more cosy. The building has a studio space, a storage, a lounge area with a fascinating view of the surroundings, and also an upper floor, which includes a work area and a sitting area, so it\u2019s absolutely the best place to do art.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This hall is practically a large living room that connects 12 container houses also made by the award-winning Industrial Zombie. The open concept plan provides a lot of sunlight and makes the place more airy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This interesting project is made up of 5 recycled containers left in their original state.They were placed so that they enclose the main rooms of the home. The roof connects the containers making them one big building. Although the use of concrete doesn\u2019t make it sustainable entirely, the use of recycled shipping containers is eco-friendly. The design of it is simple and also very clever. They sandblasted the exterior so that the metal shows through, while the inside walls are painted white which gives an industrial yet modern look to this container home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This container home is large enough for a whole family to live. It was build from one shipping container that the firm extended with more height that provided them to build a sleeping loft. It is still not a big home, but thanks to the clever furnishings and the sleeping lofts, it is very comfortable. The ground floor has a living and dining room, a well equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a storage stair that leads up to the loft where king size beds can fit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this project, various green technologies were used such as solar water heating, passive cooling, pellet stove heating, green roof and so on. This home consists of an office, bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a central space used as a living or dining room. There is an upper floor which is an open loft with a moveable bed that can slide on tracks outdoors to provide a breathtaking view of the surroundings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What\u2019s good in this container house that it can be exported to any place, any time. You can order this house like you usually order any other product in the internet, because it is prefabricated and easily shipped. The firm calls their method not recycling but upcycling: their concept is a patented modular building system, a structure that can be adapted to local changes like climate change or even eartquakes. Their structure can meet many different purposes: they can be used as simple townhouses, cluster houses or individual villas. They have a very short construction period.<\/p>\n![\"9-PLATOON_KUNSTHALLE_BERLIN\"](\"https:\/\/buzznfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/9-PLATOON_KUNSTHALLE_BERLIN.jpg\")
