In many container constructions, many materials are recycled. Not only boxes are recycled, but decorations are recycled, and even furniture can be recycled. You may think that the "recovered" style house is very crude, but in fact it can be more beautiful and more charming than the newly built! For example, this wonderful and unique freight container house from Boulder, Colorado, USA.
This 4,000-square-foot beautiful container house sits on a 9375-square-foot land with excellent views. Named [Design Wonder Shipping Container House], the house is made of recycled shipping containers and steel, and is excellent in design, function and energy efficiency. Entering the middle of the first floor is an extremely spacious space that accommodates a fully functional open kitchen, and the bar surrounds this area. There is also a work table with its own sewing machine next to it, which can also be used as a dining table. The blackboard in the background is filled with interesting patterns and becomes a decorative wall.
From the blackboard wall to the back, this is a stairwell leading to the second floor. The stairs are made of steel framework, with a bench at the bottom, where you can change shoes. Both sides of the corridor can directly lead to the outdoors, and the installation of glass doors brings a lot of natural light to the space. When planning the internal space of the house, the architect paid great attention to and emphasized the lighting effect in the house, to ensure the brightness of the internal and external living spaces, and ensure that all angles of the house can be seen.
To the left of the kitchen is a completely open living space. The ceiling is equipped with wood panels to improve visual comfort. The walls are covered with portraits of various people, turning the originally monotonous wall into a "family photo". The other wall is also painted in bright rose red, creating a lot of vitality for the space. It must be a fun party here!
The outdoor from the living room is another kitchen of the house, which is mainly used for outdoor cooking such as barbecue. The floor is covered with a colored carpet to prevent slippage. The space is actually an overhead layer of the house structure, creating a lot of extra space.
The stairs lead to the second floor, which is mainly used as a bedroom and bathroom. The current price of this house is 3.1 million US dollars, equivalent to about 21.5 million yuan, which shows that the owner has spent a lot of effort to build. As the first house in Boulder built with shipping containers, it is a work of art that combines creativity, sustainability and functionality.
The house has a total of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The design of multiple windows and doors makes the indoor environment very bright. Most of the bedrooms are located on the balcony, and there is also a sofa seating area. The beds are made of recycled wood and are covered with comfortable bedding. The design of the bathroom is very spacious, with a shower booth and a soaking bathroom, and there are two washstands. Various patterns are decorated with monotonous walls.
From the indoor to the outdoor balcony, the walls and the floor are paved with wooden boards to create a dry and comfortable activity space. At high altitude, you can see the distant scenery, and every corner is well-designed. According to individual creativity, style and investment, the container can be transformed into any type of house, which is an interesting process.
