"Residential Prefab" is a sustainable architectural venture that reimagines the potential of shipping containers, transforming them into a cohesive and functional residential space.
The project's innovative re-use of modular containers and careful design creates an inviting and sustainable environment.
​
Each container has undergone meticulous renovation and arrangement, seamlessly merging the interior and exterior spaces.
They have been repurposed and strategically positioned in a linear formation, creating a geometric masterpiece that pays homage to their original purpose. The customization of each container to suit specific functions ensures a versatile and unified design.
"Residential Prefab" project has various key features:
​
1. Containers Reuse and Integration: Each shipping container serves a distinct purpose while contributing to the overall aesthetic coherence of the project.
​
2. Harmony with Nature: The containers have been modified to allow ample natural light and to seamlessly blend with the natural context
​
3. Precision and Interconnectedness: The deliberate arrangement of the containers encourages occupants to explore and interact within the space.
​
4. Dynamic and Modular Space: Leveraging the containers' modular attributes, the project establishes a dynamic space adaptable to diverse needs.
