Guatemala is located in the northern part of Central America,
with a land area of 108,000 square kilometers, a population of 16 million and 23 Indian tribes.
It is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country.
As a result, Guatemalan culture often presents a mystical, dreamy, colorful look,
which sounds like it doesn't match the minimalist trend of modern industry, but is it really so?
This is a local container house built in Guatemala,
a unique space in a very quiet and
private semi-rural setting in the heart of Cobán City, just 15 minutes from the city.
In the choice of building materials,
[Casita Container] uses sustainable and simple industrial containers,
and the deck area built outdoors creates an excellent space for enjoying coffee.
The interior is warm and compact,
with colorful details of Guatemalan culture and heritage in soft furnishings.
A number of small windows are cut on the box wall to transmit light,
and the fabrics on the tables and chairs are colorful ethnic styles,
which do not violate the overall environment and even become a highlight element.
The house is fully equipped with daily necessities,
and the rent and sale price is 42 US dollars per day,
which is equivalent to about 300 yuan per day.
There are a total of two bedrooms in the house
and they are set in two other separate and comfortable spaces.
The walls are insulated and painted so you won't see any industrial elements inside,
but you can feel it from the corrugated panels outside the door.
Guatemalan textiles that represent the beauty are scattered around the corners of the space,
and the headboards and walls are full of personalized details.
There is only one bathroom in the house,
and moisture-proof tiles are laid on the wall,
which is set next to the living room.
