Container Frame


This design by Javier Artadi Arquitecto packs quite the contemporary punch into a modest, 2,300 sq. ft. frame.From a simple cube shape, parts of the walls and ceilings were cut away to reveal interiors to the outdoors and maximize on sunlight and the spectacular views. The resulting sun-soaked spaces make you feel like you’re outside, but with the comforts and luxuries of a sheltered space. The main volume houses the living room and is connected to the terrace and indoor/outdoor pool. A separate, small volume is occupied by the home’s private living areas.

As a shipping container design, the contour of the house successfully get out of a regular box, and took advantage of the existing shape to frame exterior for interior in daytime and frame interior for exterior in night.
