Container eco house. I designed this house for the forest. Where you need to put the housing and preserve nature. The roof is made of green. The system of ponds and waterfalls need for natural air conditioning.

Like it, must be great great to life in such a house and surrounding :)
what I meant is "to live" in such a house and surrounding.. :)
I like the water fall idea as air conditioning! I would love to have a house like this one! Well done!
Thank you for support! It old water system for air conditioning=)
are the cubes set up in a modular system? it will make the design even stronger. if you reduce the the walls between dinning and living, the corridor gets less intetion. Can you tell a little bit about the eco aspect? Material, energy, heating...
I re- used a standard old sea container 5, 10, 20, 40 pounds. Brick corridor is the main connection between the rooms. Stationary heating system with electric radiators. In the air conditioning system and used the water cycle-watering hole did this project for friends, so the plan was due to their tasks. Unfortunately this project was not implemented.
Clever, with the containers. would be great to see that finished. I like the puzzle of the various cubes. Cheers!
yes, i think this very good addition to already nice design and planning to have no walls between dining room and living room at all..it would create nice open space with good connection
The wall between the living room and dining room due to the size of the containers. And the desire of customers to have a double-sided fireplace. =) I can adapt this plan for you if you want to build a house.=)
THANK YOU TO ALL FOR SUPPORT! For any architect's is important to the opinion of community about his work. I hope that maybe someday this project will be carried out.=)
just awesome!!, your mind is privileged with many good ideas, fantastic work Elina :))
Thank you so much Maria=) I just very love green architecture=)
Excellent design and literally everything seems to be well thought of. But I have one question left - why do you use container? It doesn´t look to me like you want to move them (or the whole house)?
Thank you! I simply chose the container as a material for construction of the house because they require reuse. Because they are cheap. 20 pound container - 1,000 euros. Two containers were already in my friends that I was doing the project. For them, you can use a light foundation that will not damage the roots of trees. This is a prefabricated house. :)
Ok, I see, very well! Let´s hope you can realise a similar project some time!
Very lovely idea! I wonder why not sun panels on some part of the roof also?
Thank you=) Intend to use this house in the woods. In the forest, the solar panels are not effective for a one-story building.=)
Cool concept with those containers. Angle in your third render looks a bit exaggerated, but the rest is just great! I love the way you show greenery:)
very good eco-project with reuse of container and all the other elements ;o) I hope, you can realize it some day, ....would be great!!! ;)))
Wow! Great. I was thinking about live the city to go somewhere better! I'm going to ask you Elina to project the home for my family! And the grass is full of dandelions... yesss!
Wow David! I gladly would have done the project at home for your family :))) Thank you very much!
The waterfall is really a wonderful detail! And the stairs to the roof also :)
Very interesting initiative Elina :). Maybe to make it a bit more eco-friendly you could explore alternative materials to replace brick and locate the bathroom near the kitchen so the use of shared resources such as water, gas and heat could be managed better without much energy consumption and waste. Since you're using water for refrigeration maybe you should take a look to the "pot-in-pot" principle, a very nice natural way to control temperature. And just a personal preference, maybe building bigger windows to let people enjoy nature while they're at home would be awesome, nothing better than feeling in an open natural space but with a homely comfort!... but that's just my opinion haha, Awesome approach to the new and necessary way of living!!
Hi Mauricio! I am very pleased that you have studied carefully my project. As I wrote the draft focused on specific clients. And there was a lot of their wishes. The bathroom and kitchen are combined into a single node. But there are separate toilets. The Windows are large there but they all aim at the other side of the entrance to keep inviolate the privacy. In fact the window have been carefully designed with solar lighting and heating costs in the winter. Brick seems to me one of the most environmentally friendly materials:))) anyway, thanks for the helpful comment!!!
thats great! good rendering. the waterfall is really a wonderful detail!
