Container buildings with less than ten containers are very common,

 and they are also the most used building structures,

but only one house is built with more than ten containers.

Have you ever seen such a "rich and powerful" mansion?

Known as the largest container transportation project in California,

[Lucia container home] is built from 14 recycled containers

and is located near the beautiful south Redondo Beach in California.

On a 557 square meter piece of land in [blue zone] community,

this is a multi generation family complex building.

Through the use of upgraded transportation containers,

the estimated cost of construction is about 25% lower

than that of the traditional framework of houses of similar sizes.

However, according to strict urban requirements,

the container building must not expose the original exterior of the container,

which means that the design team must find an innovative solution to cover the entire structure.

This solution should not only make the facade attractive,

functional and extremely durable,

but also maintain the core environmental protection design.

The design team finally selected the ceramic tile panel of [Crossville]

 to meet the requirements of exterior wall design.

The color adopts the oxide color system imitating the appearance of corten steel,

which retains the industrial fashion.

The complete structure of the house includes 409 square meters of residential space,

which is configured as two connected residential units.

This unique project focuses on sustainability and thoughtful design process,

modeling a lifestyle that is harmonious with the environment.

[Crossville] series of equidistant ceramic tile panels provide long life

and durability for long-lasting installation.

At the same time, the color of ceramic tile panels also greatly affects

the overall style of the house, creating a fashionable appearance.

From architecture to interior design,

the owner Paula Dowd cooperates with AIA Architect Peter DeMaria.

The large-area building structure provides

an extremely spacious living environment for the residence,

and selects a system that maximizes efficiency to achieve products

that meet the highest standards of sustainability.

In addition to the panels used for the external walls of the house,

the design team also designated the "moonstruck"

series of [Crossville] for the indoor floors and walls,

which are polished to make the light reflected from the space brighter.

 The residence not only has a large outdoor terrace and living room,

but also has a spacious bedroom and bathroom.

Unlike the usual compact layout of a single container unit,

 the bedrooms here can even be arranged as spacious as the living room,

equipped with comfortable sofas,

and more than two washdesks can also be set in the bathroom.
