The project involves a house built from two 40-foot containers, connected along their longer side. An A-frame extension is planned for part of their length (covering about half the length of the containers), while the remaining part would serve as a large terrace/balcony.
In the attic of the A-frame structure, a master bedroom is planned with a separate office and – optionally – a freestanding bathtub near the bed.
An important assumption of the project is to carry out the construction largely through self-management (approximately 80–90% of the work done independently). Therefore, I am looking for solutions that are as simple in construction and cost-effective as possible – so that the whole appears modern and aesthetic, but without the need to use expensive technologies or materials.
At this stage, I consider the above concept as a starting point – I am open to suggestions and possible corrections, especially regarding the optimization of the structure, functionality, or compliance with regulations.
In terms of construction, I am considering that the A-frame extension be made of lightweight glued beams in the form of wooden I-beams, which would help reduce the load transferred to the containers.
As for the foundation, I initially assume the use of point foundations, providing stability for the entire structure, assuming that the containers themselves serve as a load-bearing element with sufficient rigidity.
Please send offers (design sufficient for a permit). I am looking for an architect with qualifications.
