Elementary Eugenia House by Joao Diniz

Eugenia House is a unique versatile residence project by Joao Diniz. The so-called primitive or elementary cottage is built on the sloping site of 1650 sq meters, but the building itself occupies only 86 sq. meters. To make construction more affordable and open view to the river the house has single slope curved roof supported by metal pipes from the old sewage systems. The roof at the same time is a back wall. The interior of this compact home is very well planned and features a big living room with kitchen on the first floor and a cozy bedroom on the second. Sloping ceiling focuses and connects the interior to the beauty of surrounding groves. The exterior is decorated with unique lace reminding of African tribes - this little twist completes the house.

Crossbox House by CG Architects

CG Architects designed this house composed of two container clad laid crosswise in Pont Péan, France. The home is elegantly balanced and maintains a small footprint. The modern residence is clad in a low-maintenance material for a sleek finish, while the inside is simply furnished and bright. The first volume is grey while the other one is of green colour. Near the house you will find one more building made of wood. This combination of colours looks very natural. There is a cozy living area inside the house. The interior is rather bright. Living in this house you will also have a space for planting greens by means of the green roof. The house reminds of the previously reviewed Bright Container House by Jure Kotnic Architect.

Contemporary Modular Houses by Ecomo-Get Your House In 4 Days

This contemporary compact house is located in South Africa. It was built in about 4 days and at quite a small price. Impossible? Not with the new Ecomo technology of modular construction which allows to build the house in any place and of any size using as many modules as you need. The modules are custom made and mostly of wood so the resulting houses are green to the environment not to mention the solar panels on the roof. During the summer or in the hot geography this house is absolutely autonomous and doesn’t even needs the power line. Building a house from blocks affords high efficiencies – there almost no waste, eliminating of which is usually expensive. For more information check out the Ecomo’s web site here.
