Honomobo

At Honomobo, they’ve thought a long time about what you want: a modern, beautiful, home. The solution is built from a shipping container – meticulously designed, durable, flexible, and delivered and installed with surprising ease and quickness to your property. Buying a shipping container home is now completely accessible.

Honomobo is a home. It can be used as an ADU, a carriage/laneway home, garage suite, lake front getaway, tiny house, or stacked as an apartment or multifamily complex built to meet your local building code. Prefab and modular are not new concepts, nor is the idea of a shipping container home. They don’t apologize for the fact that we are using shipping containers, but we embrace the fact that we are leveraging shipping containers to create modern, beautiful, and modular living spaces.

Flynn Mews House in Dublin

Located in the heart of Dublin, Ireland, the Flynn Mews House by Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects seamlessly integrates into and celebrates its historic urban fabric. Sharing ground with an 1847 coach house, the design for this residence highlights and reframes the site through an unabashedly contemporary gesture that honors history while adding to it a distinctly new architectural strain. This home engages with the historic core of Dublin in a uniquely intimate way. With its main entrance by way of a small mews, or alley, the site’s historic coach house façade was restored and incorporated into the new structure so that unobstructed views from the original manor remain unspoiled.

Cube House in Ithaca

Cube House by Simon Ungers is set within a secluded area of upstate New York, the Cube House is constructed from precast concrete blockwork. The regularity of the facade is contrasted by the apparently random arrangement of windows and the metal staircase which runs up one side.

Mountain Hut in Obereggen

Peter Pichler Architecture, in collaboration with Arch. Pavol Mikolajcak, won a competition to design a new mountain hut at 2.000m in the Italian Dolomites in 2015. The new hut contains a restaurant and is located next to the cable station Oberholz in Obereggen with direct connection to the ski slope.

The cantilevering structure grows out of the hill like a fallen tree with three main branches creating a symbiosis with the landscape. Each of them is facing towards the three most important surrounding mountains. The interior is defined by a complex, curvilinear and visible wood structure that gradually fades into walls and creates so called “pockets” for intimacy. It could also be seen as a new open space interpretation of the classic “Stube”, well known in typical structures of the area.

A House with a Tree in the Middle of the Living Room

Casa Vogue is a residential project designed by the architect Alessandro Sartore to integrate into the natural landscape of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the plants allowed to pass through the structure and thus bring more texture into the living areas.

The tree in the middle of the living room is a large mango called Bethany and it passes through a hole in the floor slab with a diameter of three meters. The tree was the inspirational element that determined the entire layout of the house with its shading and ventilation.
