CAN - Housing Development

This 29-unit complex...

takes design cues from the freight industry, appropriating shipping containers that are inherently flood and fire proof, making them a great home-building material. 

The open gardens of the tower were designed as a shared space so that the residents could enjoy a sense of community and openness without sacrificing privacy. On the façade that faces the prominent Venice Blvd, there are open walkways that serve as egress.

The tower also incorporates a series of accessories like storage units and interchangeable modules that make this design not only ingenious but also highly efficient in terms of build time and budget.
