Hello and welcome to a post reflecting upon an earlier and pioneering post regarding the functionality and styling of storage house homes and today we embark on a post to review this great and eco friendly housing choice. I introduce to you Ryuji Fujimura's version of the storage container house:
This one is inherently different from the other storage houses that we've reviewed so far because it doesn't simply take the normal shape of storage houses - instead this uses recycled storage container as it's walls and it provides sturdy and minimalist sidings. This is extremely eco-friendly because instead of individual sidings, you get a full one piece exterior wall that is capable of withstanding most of mother nature and the construction is made out of iron which is much sturdier than the vinyl sidings that contemporary houses employ. And yet with the minimalist exterior also comes with the minimalist interior which is a nod to a modesty prevalent in asian culture. The spartan interior also provides sufficient function but it also provides a green way to transfer heat passively from the basement to the floor - using gaps in the basement. This allows the house to be very functional and energy efficient. Thanks to the low profile exterior, this house does an excellent job of blending in with the surrounding buildings - it doesn't take too much away from neighboring buildings but it still attracts attention to its white exterior.
