Adding wood elements to the iron box is usually seen as a way to weaken

the industrial style of the container and make it more comfortable when used as a living function.

But sometimes it can be seen as a simple eco-style pursuit,

using 5 recyclable containers, natural stone, wood and cement,

to achieve the purpose of a human dwelling with as little environmental impact as possible.

The property is hidden deep in the lush jungle, the only gated community in Esperanza

with full-time security protection, and is also regarded as a gathering place for luxury homes.

The location here is a great advantage, less than 5 minutes' drive

from Playa Guiones or the more remote South Playa Guiones beaches.

The community package has 2 swimming pools, 3 hard real surfaces,

2 clay tennis courts and 3 guardhouses, allowing only homeowners and tenants to enter the community.

For added security, guards also conduct regular patrols at night.

This is one of the most characteristic shipping container mansions

on 3.25 acres of private land surrounded by hundreds of precious fruit trees.

From the terraces on the third and fourth floors

there are not too far sea views, and in the dry season from the second floor,

the back of the home has a magnificent view of San Juan and the mountains of Garza in the distance.

The flat top floor can collect natural rainwater,

which can be recycled and reused after filtering.

A solar panel can also be placed to meet the hot water needs of the home.

Surrounded by trees and the security of the community, the structure of the home is

designed with multiple large glass windows, which also offer great views from inside.

In the construction of the house, the architects used

the best raw materials and kept the design as simple as possible.

Almond wood is used for all large outdoor decks and ceilings,

while furniture is Brazilian cherry, cedar and teak.

These woods can be found in the forest,

which is convenient for the construction needs of the landlord.

When designing the structure of the house, the designer separated all the bedrooms.

On either side of the first floor are two independent double bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows

and a small terrace, which can protect the privacy of the interior through movable container doors.

Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms separated by an open plan lounge area.

The second floor is a single-storey living room.

The right side is mainly used as a kitchen and dining room.

The activity space is spacious.

It is a space created by two containers side by side.

The furniture is made of logs, which looks very similar to the white walls in the past. lining.

On the left is the rest area surrounded by blue fabric sofas.

In order to increase the lighting effect on the second floor,

this space in the rest area is specially opened vertically with the space on the third floor,

forming a duplex structure, and the walls are all replaced with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

 Create a bright interior environment.

 There is also a comfortable outdoor terrace on the second floor,

and the trees on the ground floor are exposed "through" the deck, which is unique.

The third floor is a single-story bedroom, and the huge bed is placed in the middle of this floor.

The highest floor can have the highest privacy,

 even if there are windows on all sides, there is no need to worry about the leakage of privacy,

and it can also sit on a full range of viewing angles, as well as an exclusive excellent viewing platform.
