Amazing House Built from Shipping Containers

By Lavinia • February 2, 2010

It is unbelievable where creativity can take lead. In architecture, it is imperative to let go of all the rules and think laterally or out-of-the-box- this is the main condition for creating projects that will last through the ages. Today’s unusual construction comes from French architects href="http://estaqueconteneur.over-blog.fr/" target="_blank">Claire Helene Drouin and Jean Marie Sanchez and was built taking into consideration the financial crisis. The construction is located in Marseille and the containers had to be carried by cranes on a cliff, facing the port. Unfortunately we do not know how the final results look like- we would also be interested in how the interior arrangements were made- but the idea itself was enough to catch our attention. We also think this is a great way for a company to strengthen their place on the architecture market, to  raise their awareness and popularity.
