A New York couple with 6 acres of land in upstate NY asked us to design an affordable second home using ISO shipping containers. Constrained by a tiny budget, the challenge was to reinterpret the farm vernacular on the exterior while creating a flexible modern plan on the interior. The upper floor is dedicated living space optimizing views and solar gain, while the lower floor serves as mechanical and additional storage. This project was a collaboration with Tim Steele.
