Container House / Marilia Pellegrini Arquitetura

Architect Marilia Pellegrini presents the CASA CONTÊINER ( The container house) at the 2019 Casacor exhibition in São Paulo,  showing how is possible to transform shipping containers into a modern and functional house. The concept of this type of project is based on the sustainability and reuse of materials. The time-frame for elaboration and execution of this model of construction is infinitely smaller, cleaner, faster, dry and with 100% reuse. Despite the many advantages, there is still a certain mistrust created, motivated especially by the popularization of industrial and simple finishes for this type of building, creating cold and impersonal environments due to the physical final aspects of construction. Her first mission was to prove the opposite.
