DeMaria Design have completed a prefabricated houses made from eight shipping containers as well as traditional buildings materials. The house sits on the beachside as an environmental friendly one since its prefab materials allows 70% of construction to occur off site, greatly reducing construction waste.
The house is made up of eight containers of varying sizes bound together by conventional building methods. The metal container walls define service spaces while wood and steel frame the living spaces, including an artist’s studio, master bedroom, and spacious living room with 20-foot ceilings. A smartly placed below grade container forms a swimming pool. Doors and windows are cut through the walls, but beyond that no effort is made to conceal the industrial aesthetic of the containers.
