Containers Of Hope: This Stylish Costa Rican House Made Out Of Shipping Containers Costs Around $40,000

You might remember the architect and London resident Saxe, who designed his mother's bamboo retreat, which featured a moon skylight. While he's based in London, he often travels to Central America and helped design a luxurious container home for his family.

Marco and Gabriela Calvo wanted to live on their property and enjoy their horses, but they didn't want to go into debt to build their dream home. Instead, they used recycled shipping containers to build their home.

The two 40-foot containers were placed on the pier foundations, which created a wider cross-section. They were then pulled apart to create large window sections, allowing for great west and east views. Large holes were also cut from the sides to install aluminium and glass frames.

The walls and roof of the shipping container were insulated with industrial-grade insulation. New wood floors were added to the containers' raised centre and the middle section. This feature provides natural daylight and promotes ventilation. It also works well without the use of an AC unit.

According to Saxe, the power of design comes from the people who inspire him and his team to create innovative and creative solutions for people. The project has gained widespread attention due to its eco-friendly design and affordable price.
