Context
Construction + Design Studio (2018)
This project develops a series of houses in an incremental way, taking advantage of containers’ modular construction opportunities and stacking potential.
An outer shell, which acts as insulation and protection, structures temperate rooms or stairs that further enrich the living space. The compact combination of modular houses is then organized along a protected boardwalk whose bends and turns create convenient places to meet or do activities. The adaptable linear clusters can be built in narrow, unused spaces in the villages, or occupy sloped areas.
