One of my favorite projects in the construction of houses from container is from group Tamassociati, Italian architecture firm headquartered in Venice and proposes projects to ethical, responsible ... and aesthetics. In Sudan, to a hospital in Khartoum, the collective tamassociati has made housing for medical personnel in recycling one hundred containers already on site. Mixing steel and bamboo, this architecture is revealed, and homely.

The value of this project lies in the eyes of everyone in the seriousness with which has been addressed the problem of thermal insulation. The system was created from within 5 cm insulation panels and exterior with a ventilated metal roof and cons of a bamboo sunscreen protects against direct sunlight. This system, which breaks the sunlight, also broken down permanently the container structure.

It's beautiful. This design, consisting of strict lines and braiding bamboo creates an impression of purity and strength. The full installation, which forms a courtyard in a park overlooking the Nile mango, consists of 90 containers and 7 for Homes and Services for the cafeteria. Each unit has about 20 m² with bathroom and a small veranda overlooking the garden. . The water is heated with solar panels mounted on roofs static. An innovative system of air conditioning solar absorption was experienced in some homes.

Bamboo, a renewable resource, easily, is considered an environmentally friendly choice offering flexibility and lightness. It is also found now in the manufacture of multiple accessories and making clothes and bedding.

can see on Youtube a video about the stages of the project.

The project received the award for best building made from container BEST OF 2010 GREEN
