Indeed, to the extent to convert old shipping containers could not be anyone else. And ventured on such construction is not in an effort to somehow stand out, and for a very unusual reason.

A young resident of the small town of Mirabel (Canada), Claude Dubreuil (Claudie Dubreuil) for a few years It is working for a construction company, which directs the process of the construction of wooden houses and apartment houses. But what makes a company, not a girl bring creative satisfaction, because it is often low-budget projects with very mediocre and the same type design.

Since the containers have solid metal walls, and there are no houses without windows and doors, so we had to look for the masters who will be able to make the appropriate openings. But the search dragged on, because many simply refused, because it is very complicated and time-consuming work, and in addition to the openings girl had to make cuts in special places docking container.

In her house conceived to consist of two floors, so it was decided to put the container perpendicular to each other with a recess of the central part of the second floor. After several failures the girl managed to find a company with which she started her construction, prolonged for two years!

Before installation of the first floor made of special concrete slabs the basement, on which perched, turning upside down pre-prepared two container, and the following two strengthened 90 degrees. Thus, to get the original architectural form of decoration which had long and hard work.

To create a strong foundation and registration of the floor, it was decided to fill the entire area of ​​12 centimeter layer of concrete, which was prudently mounted system "warm floor". And to reinforce the ceiling parts were welded extra steel girders, which subsequently became a very interesting element of the decor.

In order to receive a warm house and blend in with the forest landscape, facade insulated, and then revived with pinewood planks. Their young mistress has decided not to paint, and leave in its original form, only impregnated with a special solution that protects from insects and moisture.

The inner part so pleased Claudie its pronounced textured picture that she just painted the walls of the second floor in white. But on the first floor, they remain the same as they were when used for its intended purpose containers. With this solution, the container house has preserved not only the original appearance, but also space, as wood veneer or other material "ate" would be a good portion of the available space.

Given that the containers have a continuous space, had to make the partition to zone an unusual house. To do this, we set a few partitions that have been made, and wooden beams, and some rooms even brick. This part of the room perfectly serve as accent planes, so not planned to spend too much decoration.

Given that Claudia wanted to design the interior in the style of a loft nothing more sophisticated and not purchased. Furniture and she was made to order from natural materials with a rough surface treatment. In some of the rooms were used simply wooden boxes or metal racks, which successfully replaced some pieces of furniture.
