Easy 4 Dayz

In McGregor, this is a new construction concept: a hybrid of conventional build which clads a re-purposed shipping container. The hybrid construction of the house is a recycled shipping container that is wrapped with a wall and then plastered and whitewashed. This wall gives the container excellent thermal properties that protects the dwelling from the southeaster in summer and northwester in winter. The hybrid nature of construction creates an inherently thick wall, which allows for deep reveals around small punctured windows and doors, reflecting the vernacular architecture, as well as creating passive screening from harsh sunlight.
