A house in a container

Where will this weird house ever be? In a Brazilian city! You know, Brazil is a warm land, full of colours and exciting traditions. So, a house built in a container is just the umpteenth confirmation of this extravagant soul typical of Brazil. The lucky city is Porto Alegre. But do not think in the slightest that it is a small house. The structure is very complex and above all avant-garde.

The project

The project was created with the assistance of a group of architects. Those from the KS studio who collaborated with the creator of all this. The head of a metallurgical sector. You are beginning to understand where the idea came from, aren’t you? The containers played a decisive role in all this. They were the skeleton of the entire structure. Side by side and stacked on top of each other, they supported and created new spaces. Without ever losing a key feature. The one that distinguishes the entire project: lightness! But that’s not all. In addition to this element, we remember a second important fact. The philosophy behind the whole project. Environmental protection combined with the ability to reuse old materials. This thought has also made it possible to create natural light points in various parts of the house. Thanks to the presence of these strategically positioned materials, they can reflect the light during all hours of the day. A considerable saving, both in terms of materials and in ecological terms.

The design

Great attention is paid to design. A house in a container could not be otherwise. A jewel of real estate combined with innovative design. The main feature that catches the eye is the large windows. A continuum with the surrounding environment which is richly characterized by a wonderful nature. Typical of the Brazilian environment. Woods and forests surround and give lustre to this house. Without ever dominating it at all. The materials used for the interior are all eco-sustainable. Parquet and black wood are the main ones. But metals also play an important role. In addition, great importance has been attached to the concept of privacy. Although it is a well embedded environment in the Brazilian forests, the lucky person who buys the property will enjoy great privacy.
