About Pocket House Primary Function: Торак интерьер дизайны

Book Text: Pocket House — стандарт 40 футлы йөк контейнеры эчендә төзелгән күчмә торак. Яңадан кулланылган контейнер гади терәк нигезгә урнаштырылган, ә коры төзелеш ун көн эчендә бары тик монтаж юлы белән, аз калдык калдырып тәмамланган. Корыч ян диварларының өлешләре алынган һәм пыяла ишекләр белән алыштырылган, алар һава йөрешен һәм көндезге яктылыкны яхшырта һәм эчке пространствоны бакчага ача. Идән, диварлар һәм түшәм өчен бердәнбер эчке каплам итеп агач кулланылган. Компакт план йокы бүлмәсен, юыну бүлмәсен, кунакханә һәм ашау зонасын һәм ашханәне эченә ала.

Unique Properties
It is a house within a standard 40-foot container . It is a sustainable architecture with mobility. Construction was only installation, without waste and faster. For the feeling of confinement , due to the small width , the side walls of the steel container were removed to insert the glass doors . This helped the ventilation and lighting , gave a beautiful view of the garden and brought nature indoors. To lose the reference floor , wall and ceiling , only a coating was used: Wood.
Dimensions & Packaging
For this project was used a shipping container of 40 feet which measures is 12,20 m per 2,44 , externally. But, the total area of the construction was 46,80 square meters with the deck outside the container. Internally, after the coating, the final measures were equal to 11,80 m per 2,34 m .

Production Technology
The owner asked to do the interior design with materials which will remit him to the nature and of course all of them with the precepts of sustainability. The existing civil work was only the support base of the container. This kind of construction, dry construction, just with installation, it is very quickly and it is the best way for future transportations. All construction took ten days to be ready. It is an eco construction with mobility.
Design Challenge
The challenge of this project was the relationship with a small space. The domain of spatial proportions was crucial; knowledge of the principles of sustainability and its costs to meet the expectations of the completion of the project, following the client program: a room; a bathroom; living; dining room and a kitchen. All the furniture was carefully studied and designed to meet this concept. The correct choice of finishes and furnishings were important with a limited budget: 55.000 Dollars.
Research
The most important point to be observed when you are using a container for the construction of a house is the right choice of coatings to ensure mobility without damage. You should use a coating that can withstand the efforts with the movements of transport. Also, you should use the acoustic and thermal treatment for the comfort to live.
Inspiration
It is a innovative way to live. Living small with sustainability and mobility. The eco principles were the great inspiration for this design.
Project Duration
The project started on May 2013 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and the construction began on August 15th, 2013 and ended in August 25th, 2013.
Operation Flow
This solution for a house it is very important because it is reusing an old shipping container that , probably, it was a waste. It is a solution to recycle an old shipping container. And, it is a positive way for living small where you do not have much area.
