Houses for living designed by Patrick Partouche

Letโ€™s start our acquaintance with the stunning human habitation houses designed by Patrick Partouche, which he called Mason.

Two-story building is extraordinary so much that when you enter it, you instantly forget that you live in a house built from 8 shipping containers.ย It is located in France on the banks of the Lille River and covers 2,240 square feet, and it took 221,000 euros to build.

The beautiful interior allows you to experience a light and airy feeling through the use of floor-to-ceiling glass windows.ย However, thanks to the fact that the designer left the container doors untouched, you can easily achieve complete privacy when you need it.

The original spiral staircase is a metal spiral created by a modern and ergonomic design, making the house fabulously beautiful.

โ€œContainers of Hopeโ€ by architect Benjamin Garcia Sachs

One of the benefits of this construction is the economic benefits. The design was calculated to provide an inexpensive housing option available to all.ย Designed from just 2 shipping containers and built in just 1,000 square feet of space, the containers bring fabulous design and ergonomic interior.

With a construction cost of only about $40,000, the house can be used not only as a primary residence, but also as a great vacation spot for the whole family.ย Large windows in a modern minimalist style complete this beautiful design for a container home outside of San Jose, Costa Rica.
