With sweeping mountain views this off-grid shipping container house in Nederland, Colorado, represents modern structure that in its detailing and attitude, blends with its natural surroundings. Architects Studio: HT, conceived and constructed with two shipping containers straddling a taller common area.
The container "wings" house the bedrooms, bathroom, and office, while the common area houses the kitchen, living room, and loft. The loft deck allows for an open-air snooze surrounded by nature as a bed can easily roll between the interior and exterior areas.
Other low-impact features incorporated into the house include solar orientation, solar photovoltaics, passive cooling, pellet stove heating, and a green roof. For non-urban greenfield development, this is nearly as good as it gets.
