ECO-CARGO CargoSpace Living

keith — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 06:41:13 +0000

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.

squamish CargoSpace Living project

The Squamish CargoSpace Living Project.

Intended as a short-term residence, the client’s criteria is to create a “quick to construct” container concept that efficiently adapts to the off-the-grid demands of their property. It must also adapt to the future use studio/guest room suite function when the adjacent principal structure is constructed.

The solution is a simple, modern, open living structure that allows for a close relation to the surrounding forested environment and efficient use of the sheltered, secure spaces at ground level.

The hearty Two-by-Four Concept features an open staircase, with a vaulted roof and 20′ of glazing, thereby providing natural day light into the central core of the home. The master suite and bedroom on the upper floor have generous closets and balconies. The open living, dining and kitchen space on the main floor can be expanded into the den with the help of a sliding wall. Security is simple, as the steel container doors on the main floor can be locked down. For remote locations rainwater recycling cisterns, septic field pumps and emergency electrical generation systems, can be easily adapted into the design.

stac-haus: san francisco

keith — Wed, 05 May 2010 06:20:32 +0000

In San Francisco, (inner-city) there is a double lot and an owner with a unique vision. The owner wants to erect an environmentally friendly, affordable residential/commercial building that will accommodate community learning and economically house local school teachers.

The sustainable features of this multi-unit building include water reclamation and storage, solar hot water heaters, photovoltaic energy storage, reclaimed wood finish and salvaged glazing and structural members.

The project is still in the conceptual phase and is taking some time to clear the political and legal hurdles, but it is a great example of one persons vision in a community that can benefit from the container solution. Keep an eye on the projects page to see how this project progresses.

nakusp CargoSpace Living

keith — Tue, 04 May 2010 03:25:21 +0000

The site is a steep embankment providing incredible, natural water and mountain views. Arrow Lake and Saddleback Mountains from the South-West to the Village of Nakusp in the North-West.
The clients were so enthusiatic to build with containers, that they contacted me after they had acquired a 5 40′ and 2 24′ containers.

They required a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that took advantage of the views and provided them with a staging area for social gatherings. To that end, the most spectacular views are enjoyed in the main living areas and the rooftop deck. The stairwell is surrounded by glazing allowing natural light to flood in throughout all the floor levels.

The main floor structure provides a sheltered auto court allowing for comfortable coming and going in a climate that experiences snow, rain and intense sunlight.

A number of passive, energy saving elements make this home a successful, environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional sticks and stones buildings in the area.
