Angled Container House

This conceptual residential scheme reinterprets container construction through a sharply angled roof plane that improves rainwater runoff and solar control. The plan is organised to prioritise cross-ventilation, with full-height glazing opening principal living spaces directly onto a sheltered timber deck. Dark metal cladding reinforces the modular logic of the structure while softening its presence within the landscape. The composition balances efficiency, climate response, and domestic comfort within a compact footprint.
