In recent years, sustainable home construction and houses
built with recyclable transport containers are becoming the main trends.
However, many details need to be considered
when designing sustainable family projects.
For example, in addition to the correct and effective use of energy,
the need to improve the thermal and acoustic performance
of container structures is also very important.
The [Casa Ecco] sustainable housing project in Guatemala Antigua
has solved the problem of improving heat insulation and natural ventilation.
[Casa Ecco] is a luxury residence in Antigua,
with beautiful outdoor terraces,
private gardens and swimming pools,
as well as livable and spacious indoor living space,
most of which are built with recyclable materials.
The residential project is built in Antigua's scenic mountain forest scenic area,
aiming to build a building in harmony with nature
and made of environmentally friendly recycled materials.
When designing [Casa Ecco],
special attention should be paid to many natural factors,
such as respecting nature, adapting to the
existing land structure and sustainable development.
The project adopts sustainable management
and is carried out by the supporting system of
the construction company [P & a Patricia arenas architecture studio].
The biggest architectural highlight of this interesting
and charming container room [Casa Ecco] is the large floor glass windows in its duplex living room,
which can not only create good ventilation conditions,
but also connect the outdoor swimming pool and garden scenery,
so that residents can also enjoy the picturesque outdoors indoors.
The living space on the whole ground floor
includes a living room, an open kitchen and a restaurant.
All the bedrooms in the house are built in the container space,
but you can still see red brick building
materials appear on the outer wall of the building.
As one of the rare sustainable composite buildings in Guatemala,
they reduce waste and energy consumption to the lowest level.
The current rental price of the luxury residence is $1000 / night,
equivalent to about 6690 yuan / night.
Entering the interior of the bedroom,
it can be seen that this is not a narrow space of a single container unit.
The bedroom is not only designed with floor glass windows,
so that you can enjoy a panoramic view when lying in bed,
but also equipped with an open and spacious bathroom with a relaxing bathtub.
If you want to get this sustainable and luxurious family accommodation experience,
[Casa Ecco] is a good choice for travel and accommodation.
