The main purpose of this container house is twofold. The first is to integrate the container house into an urban area where the Andes Mountains are prominent both visually and structurally. Therefore, the presence of the Andes Mountains provides a clear background. And the house should be in harmony with the background. The second reason is to allow the outside air to pass smoothly through the prefabricated house and its components, avoiding the influence of the chiller.
The construction sequence of this prefabricated house is to first carve out a base of appropriate size on the hillside and place a horizontal concrete box. Then place the concrete box at an angle. These materials are low-cost and easy to maintain. As time goes by, the doors, windows, and skylights of the prefabricated building are all standard prefabricated parts directly manufactured in the factory, which will be more interesting. This not only saves costs. But it also embodies the beauty of modular and integrated buildings.
The construction of the house was divided into three main steps. The first step was to build the retaining wall to a level height. This is the public area of the house. The second step was to install the containers and combine them together to form the private spaces. The third step was to cover the containers with a uniform material. By combining the different parts together a ventilated wall was formed, which helped to control the temperature inside the room.
We advise clients to consider not only cheap materials. There is also the cost of post-use maintenance when selecting materials. When selecting materials we must analyze the material's ability to deteriorate and consider the passage of time as a factor that increases the value of the material. Architectural elements such as windows, doors and skylights are arranged logically and repeated throughout the house. Not only to reduce costs but it also creates and integrates peace of mind in the building.
