ECO-CARGO

The Eco-Cargo is a healthy, simple, efficient design ideal for urban in-fill, back lane subdivisions and multi-dwelling building lots. The entire Eco-Cargo design is 800sqft over two floors. A single 40′ shipping container makes up a lower floor which features a convertible lounge/den space, foyer, bedroom and bathroom. This simple and efficient space also accommodates the mechanical and laundry areas hidden under the stairs. Staggering the 40′ shipping containers allows for more room in the upper floor area. The upper floor is the heart of the home. This main living area includes a kitchen and eating area which opens to a deck allowing access to the green roof top garden. The efficient stacking of these shipping containers comfortably accommodates 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, multi-functioning living spaces and the green roof on a very small footprint.
