The Container House is a commission for a couple with three grown children who requested a compact and simplified living arrangement with an eye to retirement. They sought spaces that offered the ease of an apartment with the addition of inviting and sizeable covered outdoor areas. Moving from a family house that was situated on a flat, heavily treed lot to a steeply sloping mountain-side property created the opportunity for a bright and open house, perched high above the ground.

集装箱屋是一对夫妇的佣金，他们有三个成年子女，他们要求一个简约的居住安排，以便退休。他们寻找的空间，提供了一个舒适的公寓，增加了诱人和规模较大的户外区域。从一栋坐落在一片平坦、树木茂密的土地上的家庭住宅搬到一处陡峭的山坡上，创造了一座高耸入云、明亮而开阔的房子的机会。

Although planning guidelines would have allowed for a slightly larger house on three floors it was decided that a scheme with only two storeys, though smaller in size overall, would create a house with more generous interior volumes and greater architectural possibility. All of the elements essential for daily living are located at the upper floor including the master bedroom, while secondary bedrooms, an office and recreation room are located at the lower floor. This strategy minimizes vertical travel within the house by eliminating one flight of stairs. Placing the garage at a split level between the two floors means distances from the car are less than a full storey. The impression is of a series of spaces which are expansive yet intimately connected horizontally and vertically.

虽然规划准则允许在三层楼建造一座稍大一点的房子，但已决定，一个只有两层楼的方案，虽然总体规模较小，但将创造出一座内部体积更大、建筑可能性更大的房子。日常生活所必需的所有要素都位于上层，包括主卧室，而次级卧室、办公室和娱乐室位于底层。这一策略减少了室内垂直旅行，消除了一层楼梯。将车库放置在两层间的分隔层，意味着距离汽车的距离不到一整层。印象是一系列空间的膨胀，但紧密地连接水平和垂直。

The structure of the upper floor takes the form of an L-shape with the master bedroom wing cantilevered high above the roofs of neighbouring houses. This hovering volume projects deeply into the rear yard providing privacy to the west and solar protection for the swimming pool that, with it’s dark tile finish, mirrors the cantilevered container above it.

上层建筑采用L形结构，主卧室的机翼悬挑在邻近房屋的屋顶上方。这个悬停的体积深深地投射到后院，为游泳池提供了隐私保护和太阳能保护，在它的黑色瓷砖完成，反映了悬臂容器在上面。

Given the site’s limited width, rooms are stacked behind one another. The living room is positioned behind and slightly above the dining room to allow it to view over and past furniture in front. In good weather, when the wall of doors are open, a large covered deck significantly extends the living area of the Container house. A window monitor and sloped roof offer high glimpses of mountains and north light which balances the primary Southeastern views.

考虑到网站的有限宽度，房间互相堆叠在一起。起居室位于餐厅的后面，稍高于餐厅，使其能够看到前面的家具和过去的家具。在天气好的时候，当门的墙壁打开时，一个大的有盖甲板会显着地扩展集装箱房的起居区域。一个窗户监视器和倾斜屋顶提供了山脉和北极光的高度一瞥，这平衡了主要的东南景观。
