Can you imagine a completely sustainable home? Although it is far from happening for most Brazilians today, it is already a reality for several architects who are studying alternatives to traditional civil construction, as evidenced by several projects at
CASACOR Minas created from shipping containers. Young
Marina Diniz and
Paula Guimarães were responsible for the
Garden Office , a home office in the backyard. The container was coated on the outside with a resistant and easy-to-apply ecogranite. The soapstone makes its way across the lawn to the dotted area. by nautical rope armchairs and poufs and Formica side tables, for informal meetings or just relaxing. Inside, the furniture design stands out, with pieces by Sérgio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin and Jader Almeida. The 22 paintings by Alessandra Rehder form a kind of of window.
There are countless unused containers in the world. And following a trend of creative sustainable economy that uses renewable sources and offers fast, clean and economical construction, the use of containers is a perfect option. In Brazil, the idea of using disused structures has increasingly become a viable and sustainable option in civil construction for commercial, residential and corporate environments. With several modulation options, containers are offered by some specialized companies in turning boxes into habitable spaces.
