This house combines the tradition of stone and the modern architecture of container build.

It is made of sixteen 20 ft. containers clinging each side of a strong stone heart.

The mass of the stones will store the heat of the two fireplaces and distillate it slowly along the day to provide you with the best comfort and it is also equipped with an integrated air conditioning system keeping each of the 6 rooms at optimal temperature.

The vegetalized roof will make it blend in the landscape while preserving it from the heat of the sun during the warm season.

It comes fully equipped with interior lights with switches and lockable doors managed by a smart centralized access management (choose exactly and easily who can unlock the doors, owner only, friends of the owner, group members, manually added guests) which can optionally close and lock the doors automatically after a delay if they are left open. It also has a keypad for entering the code for unlocking, should you need to give temporary access to someone you can't or don't want to add as permanent guest.

When they are unlocked, anyone can open or close the doors as long as they are close enough (~ 10m range), which prevents that noisy neighbor to play with them from their home.
