Container Home Book 24 - Grillagh Water House
Project Type
Mr Bradley had originally planned to use conventional construction methods however the Architect realized during planning that he needed to reduce the construction costs to meet his budget and instead decided to use Container based Construction whilst still keeping the overall aesthetics of the original design by cladding the exterior of the house. The upper level of the Container Home cantilevers over the lower - creating a balcony surrounded by steel fins that protect the interior from unwanted solar gain as well as a lower portion for a terrace, surrounded by a glass balustrade and is connected to the garden below by a minimal metal staircase. The intent of the design was to create a house that presented as a sculpture in the landscape but still blend in with its surroundings.
