Redesign of Project 1


So after heavy consideration, I decided to redesign my shipping container as I thought my initial design of having the container split in half was not a good design proposal for what I wanted to do for Project 2. Instead of splitting in half, a normal container is used and the side wall can be detached for a outdoor area which was one of my main focus of Project 1. All the areas are kept the same for the bed, kitchen and bathroom spaces. To keep the outdoor feel, I made so that residents can enter through the north and south facades through sliding glass doors.
