The architects of Studio Edwards have designed this house from three containers. Two of them join to locate the living room, the dining room, a bathroom and the kitchen and the third, which is separated from the other two, forms the bedrooms. Both modules are connected by an external platform.
Description of project by Studio Edwards
A container house on the Surf Coast in Wye River, Victoria. Designed as a weekend retreat & made from three 20ft shipping containers.
Two connect to form the living space with toilet, laundry & entry. The third a sleeping wing with two bedrooms, toilet & shower. Connected by a external deck on steel stilts which sit on deep concrete pile foundations- anchoring the house to the hillside.
Internally the spaces are lined with marine plywood. Externally insulated & clad with galvanised steel sheeting. The northern face of the house has fixings to allow for planting wires to connect to the ground, encouraging native plants to grow over the house.
The Southern facade is predominately glazed with a series of double glazed doors & windows opening onto the decking which looks southwards through the trees towards the ocean.
A green roof planted with native dichondra sits above, providing additional thermal insulation & rainwater filtration.
