Container Home Presentation Book 2 Six Oaks
Originally the owners where planning a modern prefabricated house but quickly discovered issues with site access due to the narrow and winding local roads, the standardized width of the ISO shipping container overcame that challenge. The house was carefully designed around the site to minimize the impact on the established trees and was constructed with a raised foundation in order to have the fewest earthworks and land grading possible and the few redwood trees that needed to be felled to make way for the house where used as the stairs and celling in the home. The containers where positioned four feet apart from each other creating a space that was filled in with a glass atrium and a metal grating floor on the on the second story allows light and heat to filter through to the first level Other features of the house include a central gas fireplace, LED lighting and an Advantex septic system. Total construction costs came to $225 per square foot which is at the low end of custom house spectrum in Northern California.
