Container Expertise Dwelling / Estudio Nómade


Textual content description supplied by the architects. There will likely be tales guarded on this piece, ports and distant locations inconceivable to enumerate. We will solely affirm that it supplied the fundamental uncooked materials for discussing ideas, and concepts and proposing venture operations that required simultaneous actions between expertise and area.



We feed on the photographs that the piece itself supplied, in rural, city, and suburban environments, elevated on cranes, and stackers, transported by ships or semi-trailers, in addition to a myriad of conditions and relationships that changed into arguments, sketches, and volumes.



Whereas we contemplate the venture naturally unsure, we proposed to intensify that concept of leaping into the void by understanding that new levels of freedom is born within the face of restrictions. It definitely constituted a brand new expertise. Working with a predetermined area, with an accentuated three-dimensional imprint, which involves life from the obsolescence with respect to its unique perform.



Analyzing and decoding the container led us to review the bounds and restrictions of a mono-material piece of two.40 m x 2.40 m x 12.00 m, a common dimensional response, with a weight of 4000 kg and a load-bearing capability of 28000 kg, thus emerged conferences, contributions, exchanges within the research with Ing. Jorge Maiztegui and in the meanwhile when all the things appeared ordered, Geometry, Heart of Gravity, Solicitations, asymmetry arose and once more to the tracing, to the check, to confirm the construction once more.



The uncertainty doesn’t finish there, who builds the items that Jhon and Tomy designed? Who ensures us the welding and anchoring twine? Though the container was mounted on a construction, we knew that a part of it had the provisional situation (help and leveling) and the opposite definitive half.

The millimetric adjustment is an actual problem and presumably past our management, so we approached the workshops, some motivated the expertise, and others not a lot… Pablo, an industrial designer, narrowed the hole of uncertainty, manufacturing, machining, and testing the items, however this is without doubt one of the totally different phases of the development course of, we wanted to search out somebody who assured the on-site help, the actual one, and discovering Paska (Pavlo Yacoblev), a welder with a stamp from the Astillero Rio Santiago, was an actual discover, we nonetheless don’t perceive how he might mount and calibrate every of these tensioners, regulate them, put them beneath load, solely with our eventual collaborations that would not exceed reaching a software, holding a bit, or a mate, he received all our admiration, respect and gratitude for his teachings.

It was fairly an occasion to take away the help, lower, and see what occurred past the calculation and verifications, our expectations, and that of the neighborhood that knew and accepted it, even at the moment it’s a small city reference, indicative of instructions and streets with out numbers.


Thus, the venture merges sensations, expertise, and habitability, the foundations are remodeled right into a counterweight and liveable enclosure that homes us within the lengthy nights of competitions and weekend recreation, the opportunity of a novel atmosphere not solely responds to dimensional circumstances but in addition to the concept of an Structure Workshop, in a pure atmosphere, the place we develop a part of what we’re keen about, the place time passes and you don’t notice it. Suspending it allowed us to confirm all its components, discover city basis by releasing the nook, and permitting Martin the neighbor to carry from his window the lengthy perspective in the direction of the grove of poplars. Accessing by way of the ground doesn’t change the foundations of the sport, it awakens others and recovers a hidden face that turns into a facade, the concept of levitating is related to inhabiting and discovering {that a} single factor gives us, lined, semi-covered and open.

The economic system in easy efforts and expectation for minimal assets. We perceive it as an open expertise, certainly inconclusive, and imperfect, with the wholesome ambition of a message valuing all those that left a part of work and energy to conclude it, together with the opinions of Jujo and Nacho’s after-dinner conversations, at all times critics, and the potential ones that 3 generations concerned in articulating the variety of information. Leaping into the void. Protected zones/uncertainty.
