Even if you think shipping containers are made only for cargo, here is a beautiful example to prove you wrong, and see how a cor-ten steel house can look like, with a few other improvements. The designer, built it together with the owner, which is a metal worker, and that way they choose to reflect his passion and personality in the metal structure they created. The new house reuses and repurposes marine shipping containers, achieving a highly-resistant and ready-made structure that perfectly represents the owner’s lifestyle and profession.
The house is built in Porto Alegre, a beautiful city in Brazil, being one of the most woodland covered city of the country it offers beautiful landscapes all around. To create a robust structure, the containers were chosen for the benefit of modularity, easy and quick assembly. Being set up side-by-side and stacked on top of the other, the containers allowed for a high quality and generous spaces around the building.
Such a simple way of building luxurious and amazing houses, with breathtaking views and which such a low budget materials. Who says luxury is expensive. Just use your imagination and you can build your dreamhouse easy and cheap.
