The idea of secondary use of items has made transport containers a popular building material used by modern architects!

Shipping containers have long been architects’ weakness. Since the beginning of the 2000s, intriguing projects have begun to appear in different countries, in which containers are not in the role of something unusual, but an economical tool. It has long been known that their practical benefit and personal benefit contribute to environmental protection. The fashion for upcycling (turning old, obsolete materials into new ones) in architecture has become a process that has created a trend called cargotecture.

In this material, we have collected the brightest possible examples:

House around a tree in Costa Rica

Assemble eight shipping containers into one and you already have a home of 340 sq.m of total area, several terraces and a cozy patio! In this home, everything is subordinated to the idea of environmental protection and careful attitude to nature. Instead of air conditioners, ventilation and removable bamboo panels are integrated, instead of an electrical network, solar energy is used. Even rainwater is collected in special tanks, filtered and used in satin areas. The structure of the house is built around an old cedar, as if protecting it from human encroachment.

Giant House in Australia

This home of cargo containers in Brisbane has a well-deserved name – the champion of Australia. The house includes 31 containers – three floors, almost 700 sq.m and three months for construction. There is also a huge yard, a swimming pool and a large graffiti-style drawing on the façade. In the design of the home, clean lines prevail, there is a lot of space in it, and glass and wood are present as materials.

Container House in Denmark

A family from a city near Copenhagen built this house in order to save money. In their home, insulation has been made from cargo containers due to the cold climate in the country. In order for as much natural light as possible to penetrate, two lines of windows are provided.

Industrial-style house in Japan

The project was carried out for a man whose hobby is collecting motorcycles. The man did not have space for all the machines and proposed for this purpose architects to design a space from cargo containers. The first floor consists of three containers, which house a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and garage. The second floor includes four cargo containers, in which there is a game room, a cinema, audio systems, etc.

White House in Spain

This home is assembled from four large containers placed on a stable foundation. Inside, the walls of the containers are insulated and painted with white paint – a typical option for Spain, designed to protect against the summer heat. The most pleasant thing is that each such container house can be disassembled and moved to another place, easily and quickly.

Summer house in the USA

This shipping container cottage is designed for a Colorado family vacation. On the façade, we distinguish between one large and six smaller containers. The metal is sheathed with wood, and the doorways have been converted into large windows. This home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen with a living room and a huge deck-type terrace.

New business

There are many companies whose subject of activity is the assembly of container houses. Similarly, a German firm has specialized in the design of houses from long containers. According to the specialists in the company, the larger the area, the cheaper the construction. A project for a house made of cargo containers on an area of 300 sq.m, according to them, gives about 30% savings compared to a house built using traditional building materials.

 

For its part, an American company not only sells cargo containers, but also designs modular houses, offices, kiosks and hotels from them. For example, one of their projects is a residential building consisting of six apartments per floor, including a bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe. Each floor has a shared kitchen and guest room, and the stairs between the floors are made of recycled polycarbonate.

 

And this is what a modular office made of cargo containers looks like.

House of containers – a direction that is very actively developing in Europe. Currently, not only residential buildings are being built, but also administrative buildings, student dormitories, kindergartens and refugee camps.

An intriguing trend, isn’t it? [:en]

THE IDEA OF RE-USING MATERIALS HAS MADE THE TRANSPORTATIONAL MATERAL “TARA’’ A POPULAR CHOICE USED BY MODERN ARCHITECTS!

Containers for cargo transportation have long been a soft spot for architects. Since the beginning of the 2000s, intriguing projects have started to appear in different countries, in which containers are not in the role of something unusual, but are seen as an economic tool. It has been know for long that their practical benefit and personal benefit contribute to the protection of the environment.

In this article, we have gathered the brightest examples:

House around a tree in Costa Rica

Assemble together eight transport containers and you already have a home of 340 square meters in total, including several terraces and a cozy patio! Everything in this home is subjected to the idea of environmental protection and taking care of nature. Instead of air conditioning, there is integrated ventilation and movable bamboo panels; instead of electricity grids – solar energy is used. Even rainwater is collected in special tanks, filtered and used in the smoothed-out areas. The construction of the house is built around an old cedar as if protecting it from human assault.

Giant House in Australia

This Brisbane cargo container home has a well-deserved name – The Australian Champion. The house includes 31 containers – three floors, nearly 700 square meters and construction spanning three months. There is also a huge courtyard, swimming pool and a large drawing in graffiti style on the facade. The house’s design is dominated by clean lines with plenty of space in it; the presented materials are glass and wood.

Home, made of containers in Denmark

A family from a town near Copenhagen built up this home in order to save money. Because of the cold climate in the country, their home has a thermal isolation. In order to have as much natural light as possible penetrating into the interior, two rows of windows are provided.

Industrial-style house in Japan

This is a project for a man whose hobby is collecting motorcycles. He did not have enough space for all the vehicles and he suggested the architects to design a space, made of cargo containers. The first floor consists of three containers, which include a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a garage. The second floor includes four freight containers, featuring a gaming room, a cinema, audio systems, and so on.

White House in Spain

This home has been assembled from four large containers placed on a stable base. Inside, the walls of the containers are insulated and painted with white paint – a typical design decision in Spain that is meant to protect the house from the summer heat. The most pleasant thing is that any one of these container houses can be disassembled and transported elsewhere easily and quickly.

Summerhouse in the USA

This cottage made of cargo containers is designed as a family holiday house in Colorado. On the facade we can see one large and six smaller containers. The metal is engraved with wood, and the door openings have been turned into large windows. This house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen with a living room and a huge deck terrace.

New business

There are many companies whose object of work is to assemble container houses. Similarly, a German firm specializes in designing elongated container houses. According to experts in the company, the larger the area is, the cheaper the construction will be. A project for a 300-square-meter cargo container house, according to them, yields about 30% more savings compared to a house built using traditional building materials.

For its part, one American company not only sells cargo containers, but also designs modular houses, offices, kiosks, and hotels. For example, one of their projects is a residential building consisting of six apartments per floor, including a bedroom, a bathroom and a wardrobe. Each floor has a shared kitchen and a guest room, and the stairs between the floors are made of processed polycarbonate.

And here’s how a modular office made of freight containers looks like.

Container Houses- a very active sector in Europe. Currently, not only residential buildings but also administrative buildings, student dormitories, kindergartens and refugee camps are being built using this method.

An intriguing trend, right?[:]

The bathroom of 2018 will create real comfort in your life and an amazing combination of different design elements. In fact, the design of the bathroom for this year solves the problem of choosing between a strict minimalist style and the realization of original fantasies.

The following material will reveal to you the latest trends for 2018, among which you will find something interesting for yourself!

The main concept in the bathroom design of 2018 is the meeting of technology with the variety of natural materials, which makes the creation of the design a rather fascinating process. In recent years, organic materials such as bamboo, stone, wood have been at the peak of fashion. They harmoniously coexist with surfaces, as well as with the characteristic pure colors: white, gray, lemon, green.

Another eco trend – surfaces covered with natural plants or Scandinavian moss, give the space incredible freshness and proximity to nature. A suitable combination of plants is wood in darker shades.

Ceramic tiles do not give up their position either. This year, however, the tiles on the floor are taking on different geometric shapes, the most relevant being the diamond-shaped ones. Their colors range from dark to modernist-inspired ones: violet, white, beige. Water shades are also gaining popularity. A surprise of the new trends are the iridescent tiles that create a fabulous feeling. Along with them are the tiles imitating fish scales, giving the bathroom an impressive look.

In the layout of the bathroom in 2018, the priority is the optimization of space – the correct selection of sanitary ware and furniture. Together with their appropriate location, the necessary comfort and a feeling of coziness are created. Continuing this trend is the recommendation for furniture – to use natural ergonomic shapes, for example, oval, which will bring harmony to the interior.

As for colors – black and all shades of gray are incredibly popular. The black color changes its role, increasingly manifesting itself as a background color. Light elements stand out visually thanks to black, which helps in our quest to accentuate a certain light piece of furniture. In turn, the gray color is neutral and helps in striving to visually expand the space.

Undoubtedly, as in the planning of any room, artistic design intuition plays an essential role. It allows you to foresee the nature of the perception of every detail in the interior and the close connection with the overall mood of the room. For this, do not hesitate to seek professional support. We are at a meeting to assist in the creation of the dream modern bathroom of 2018! [:en]THE BATH OF 2018 WILL CREATE A TRUE COMFORT IN YOUR LIFE AND ASSEMBLE AN INCREDIBLE COMPOSITION OF DIFFERENT DESIGN ELEMENTS.

Interior décor ideas in most cases are suggested to us by nature, we can only draw inspiration from it !

One of the latest inspirations from nature is the “dressing” of walls or part of them with living greenery or decorative moss, which we will tell you about in this article.

Decorating a space with an arrangement of living greenery allows: the air in the room to be saturated with oxygen faster, as well as the absorption of harmful emissions and dust particles. The natural aroma is exceptional, and the relaxing effect of the atmosphere on the inhabitants is guaranteed.

Unfortunately, such structures need special care and careful maintenance. We are talking about irrigation and sewerage systems, maintaining a certain light and temperature regime. Quite naturally, live plants are seasonal and are not able to please the eye all year round.

If you want to have a plant that will green the interior and give it freshness, but you don’t have time to take care of it, we have another solution! Compositions made of natural moss are a great idea. The moss is pleasant to the touch and superbly absorbs sounds. Decorative natural moss walls can be made in different sizes, colors and shapes.

The impressive final appearance is obtained by irrigating the natural moss with special liquids that preserve it, called “stabilization”. The plant remains alive in appearance, but all biological processes in it are suspended. In this way, not only does it not lose its superior properties, but at the same time acquires a number of new ones:

• moss remains stable over time;
• does not need watering and fertilizing;
• does not retain dust and mold and bacteria do not form in it;
• acquires elasticity and brightness of color;
• It is absolutely harmless to humans and animals, has hypoallergenic properties.

Along with the positive qualities of moss, it is important to bear in mind that it is undesirable to water it and expose it to direct sunlight, since this shortens its service life. After installation, moss thrives thanks to the air humidity – 50% or higher, which does not differ from the standard humidity in a room. Following these recommendations, the plant will retain its attractive appearance and continue to delight the eye for a long time.

Green designer gardens are not only a trend in interior solutions, but also a source of joy. Regardless of the way an interior is landscaped, a piece of nature will undoubtedly bring freshness and inspiration to the daily life of its inhabitants.

IN MOST CASES IDEAS FOR INTERIOR DECORATION COME FROM NATURE; THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS TO BE INSPIRED BY MOTHER NATURE

One of the latest inspirations coming from nature is the so-called “dressing” of walls or part of them with living foliage or decorative moss. We will tell you more about it in this article.

Decorating spaces with a living arrangement allows for the air in the room to be saturated with oxygen more quickly, as well as helps with the absorption of harmful emissions and dust particles. The natural aroma is exceptional and the relaxing effect of the atmosphere on the inhabitants is guaranteed.

Unfortunately, such structures require special care and careful maintenance. This includes watering and sewerage systems, maintenance of particular lighting conditions and temperature regime. Quite naturally, living plants are seasonal and you can’t enjoy them throughout the whole year.

If you want a plant that will green the interior and give it freshness, but you do not have time to take care of it, we have another solution! Natural moss compositions are a great idea. Moss is pleasant to the touch and superbly absorbs sound. Walls covered in decorative natural moss can be made in different sizes, colors and shapes.

The impressive end result is obtained by irrigating the natural moss with special liquids that preserve it. This method is called “stabilization”. The plant remains alive, but all biological processes in it are discontinued. In this way, it not only does not lose its excellent properties, but it also acquires a number of new features:

• the moss remains stable over time;
• it does not need watering and fertilizing;
• it does not retain dust and does not form mold and bacteria;
• it acquires elasticity and brightens up its coloration;
• it is absolutely harmless for humans and animals and has hypoallergenic properties.

Along with the positive qualities of mosses, it is important to keep in mind that it is not desirable to water it and expose it to direct sunlight, as it shortens its service life. After mounting it, the moss grows thanks to the humidity of the air – 50% or higher, which does not differ from the standard humidity in a room. Following these recommendations, the plant will retain its attractive appearance and you will be able to enjoy it for a very long time.

Green designer gardens are not only a trend in interior design but also a source of joy. Regardless of how your interior is laid out, a tiny bit of nature will undoubtedly bring freshness and inspiration to the daily lives of its inhabitants.

Original, right? 🙂

4. Furniture in bright colors

Living bodies of water – a new trend in modern biotechnology

For more than 20 years, there has been a technology in Europe for the construction of natural bio-pools, which function on the principle of natural reservoirs.

Bio-pools , as a rule, serve not only for swimming, but also to decorate the landscape, to create a cooler, humid and healthy environment, which is especially attractive on hot days.

What exactly is a bio-pool and how does it differ from a traditional one?

The bio-pool is an independent, closed water system. The uniqueness of this system lies in the natural, natural purification of the water, without the need to use chemicals as in traditional pools. Phytopurification is based on biological, physical and chemical processes using various plants.

A water facility can be made in any geometric shape and in any size. In cold weather, traditional pools are unusable or covered with covers. Bio-pools take on the characteristics of natural lakes, following seasonal changes in the environment.

Unlike traditional swimming pools, for the creation of a bio-pool it is not necessary for the section to be flat. On the contrary – natural irregularities, bumps and depressions will create an additional opportunity for the water to pass through obstacles and overflow, which purifies it and saturates it with oxygen.

Types of bio-pools:

#ЕСТЕСТВЕН LAKE-TYPE BIO-POOL

It is a pool resembling a natural lake that provides an environment for people, plants, fish and birds. It creates an unparalleled feeling of swimming in nature. Once built, the bio-pool attracts its natural inhabitants and a functioning ecosystem is created in a short time.

LIVING WATER BASINS – A NEW TREND IN CONTEMPORARY BIODIVERSITY

In Europe, for over 20 years exists a technology for building natural bio-pools that operates on the principle of natural basins.

Bio-pools, as a rule, serve not only for swimming but also for decorating the landscape, creating a cooler, humid and healthy environment that is particularly attractive in hot days.

What is a bio-pool and how does it differ from the traditional ones?

The bio-pool is a self-contained, closed water system. The uniqueness of this system lies in the natural water purification, without the need to use chemicals like in traditional pools. Phytopresurization is based on biological, physical and chemical processes that utilize different plants.

Waterworks can be made in any geometric form and size. In cold weather, traditional pools are unusable or covered. Bio-pools acquire the characteristics of natural lakes, following the seasonal changes of the environment.

Unlike traditional pools, building a bio-pool does not require the area to be flattened. On the contrary – natural unevenness, bumps and dents will create additional opportunities for the water to pass through obstacles and overflow, which purifies and saturates it with oxygen.

Types of bio-pools:

A real architectural monument in the bowels of Sydney stunned the inhabitants of the city.

The unique art installation – Interloop is located at the Wynyard station from the subway. It is an interesting air composition hanging over the passengers. The installation itself resembles an accordion made of parts of an old escalator.

The first wooden escalator appeared at this station in 1931, then it was replaced by a metal one. Today’s five-ton structure is more than 50 meters long and consists of 244 wooden steps and four metal bases from the original escalator.

The author of this work of art is the Australian architect – Chris Fox. According to him, the installation symbolizes the connection between the old and the new and aims to draw the attention of tourists and artists to the architecture of Sydney.
