BUILDING MADE FROM RECYCLED EXPORTATION CONTAINERS

The act of building/architecture has improved over the years, before now who ever thought we will be able to achieve an edifice from waste. I live in a third world where mounding/building houses from clay is widely practiced in rural areas, but it is slowly declining due to the presence of cement (block) which they see it as expensive when your house is built with it. What is automatically recorded in their head that the person is wealthy. Buildings built with clay are usually very cold in during the raining days and also very hot when the intensity of the sun is high.

Over the centuries technology have proven to us that you can literally take your house anywhere you go, especially for those who love hiking, and travelers too. Which basic amenities are found there in such as a bed space, convince, fridge etc. I was surfing the web couple of weeks ago and I came across a video, the video was a illustration of a foldable house all you need is just a piece of land then you are good. The foldable house is designed base on your specifications as regards the length and width. From the look of it, it’s very convenient is just like moving around with your house within the your reach.

So today I made a visit to one of my site where we won the bid of installation of high speed Internet and some other communication services. We left the office early enough in order for us to arrive site early enough to carry out the assessment of the level of work that has been done on the site. On arrival I met the way used exporting containers were used in building, seen this I had a flash back at a project site In Ikeja Lagos, where the site office and the convinces both male and female where made out of exportation containers.

Right there I told my colleague that seen this possible you can actually use it to build a house, at least a double decker with rooms and a living area. Recycling items saves Mother Earth and also reduces cost patenting to the project.
I was so impressed how they were able make use of it.
We launched into work checking for continuity with a cable tracker to see that all cables ran were in good condition within the conduit pipe, and also to avoid failure when it is eventually used. The payment on service (POS) solution was also requested by the client, which will be need when goods are services are been purchased by fun seekers. The POS software which will run on a standalone machine with have the prices of both drinks, cocktails, food, hand foods preconfigured in the system, which at a push of a button it obeys the command.

These cables were ran at strategic points as instructed by the client because there was no drawing from the client’s end as regards this installation. Over all the engineers did a fantastic job as we signed off the documents.

They are excellent ideas for innovation with respect to the construction of alternative housing, I believe that this can provide a solution that generates less impact on the environment and also solve the housing problem for many.

Hello @hironakamura. A friendly welcome to the Architecture+Design Community.

Container architecture has been one of the hottest trends of our contemporary times. Not only are these building units durable and functional, but they also add a modern touch to the final output's character. Thank you for featuring this impressive work!
