There is no need for a housing crisis to realize the importance of the cost of a construction both at home and abroad. A $ 40.000 home, two shipping containers are not only liveable, but also beautiful, and attract the interest of those who can't afford more. Benjamin Garcia Saxe is an architect of Costa Rica with a new perspective on residences, recycle containers and mixes the classic to modern, using

materials and sustainable strategies. Two container loft and staggered towards East / West, center a metal roof, raised and tilted up to catch sunlight and facilitate passive cooling. The result is something that (for some of us, at least) is more attractive to some prefabricated, and certainly much cheaper to create.
