2+ Weekend House
Trebnje, Slovenia
Sky
high prices of real estate in the contemporary world have stimulated the search
for and development of alternative housing solutions. One such attempt is the ConHouse system of small-size
housing container units, which takes the housing/office ISO container to the
next evolutionary level. As opposed to the other container projects,
which mostly feed on the excess of available cargo containers, ConHouse pushes
the development of containers manufactured especially for housing and office
purposes.
Even
though the past 20 years have significantly changed the face of architecture,
the basic form of these containers has remained the same. The ConHouse system
now upgrades them to enable a quality of living comparable to classical
housing. This is achieved mainly through rationally designed ground plans,
carefully selected materials, a well-lit interior and the customized outer
appearance of individual units. By enabling its occupants to coshape their
compound unit according to their particular needs, ConHouse takes after the
inventive automobile industry, where car owners can choose the components they
desire, and after the IKEA-developed winning recipe of interior design.
The
2+ is a two-level mini housing unit composed of two containers perpendicular to
each other. It shows that a minimal number of containers combined in an
innovative fashion offers fresh yet functional architectural solutions. The upper
container provides a projecting roof above the entrance as well as serves to
shelter the back terrace. The ceiling of the bottom container is also a terrace
of the first floor.
The
pink-dotted façade illustrates the wide range of possibilities for tailor-made
exteriors, the choice of which is as simple as deciding about which mobile
phone cover to put on. The system’s modular nature enables containers to be
added to or subtracted from the compound as needed, so that the ConHouse can
grow or contract depending on the actual spatial needs of the people using it.
Lower prices of such live/work units make them competitive as compared to
traditional housing and are intended to increase the number of home-owners, who
can then use the extra cash to expand their living space or invest more into
interior design.
