Brief:

Learning to extract ideas from recyclable components in our surroundings and building on rural land is what this project was based on. Coupled with this, we were required to design a house with specific requirements that we would have lived to live. Shipping containers were chosen and composed in a stacked form to create a small house housing up to four people. Working with the structure of the elements and the orientation, a three storey, modular orthogonal house nestled within a forest was designed that focused on cost, construction and site conditions.
