Project details
Site has various contour levels to a maximum of 1.92m. Container being a sturdy and ready to use material is chosen to work with. Though container is a box which retains and transmits a lot of heat inside, site being at the hill station we decided to go head with the container as the temperature would not greatly impact the indoor environment.
Containers are stacked in a manner we were able to achieve a greater surface area with shade which is used for deck, gazebo, hammock, sitout and Dining. This saves us the roofing cost for the above mentioned places.
Roof top with garden gives a beautiful view of the mountain on the top.
Structural part is not complex in this case as the stacking balances the weight on both sides leaving a good foot print over all.
With the amenities around it would be a great deal to spend good time with the family.
