Key Portal’s Container Retreat: A Symphony of Nature and Design
Crafted from standard shipping containers and nestled in a serene natural environment, the summer house Key Portal emerges as a harmonious blend of Scandinavian and Japanese design, exuding tranquility and balance. This architectural gem serves as the perfect escape from urban hustle. Illuminated by natural sunlight filtering through glass portals, the residence bathes in a soothing ambiance. The interior frames picturesque landscapes, transforming them into organic works of art.
Comprising three containers measuring 240x1200x270cm each, the two-story retreat accommodates two occupants. The ground floor hosts a living area, dining space, and kitchen with direct access to a terrace featuring a strategically positioned pool. This terrace becomes a hedonistic haven, offering spaces for both relaxation and dining. Opening the portals seamlessly integrates the kitchen with the terrace. Additionally, the ground floor includes storage space and a guest toilet. The ground floor spans 50m², while the terrace with the pool occupies 90m². Upstairs, a bedroom with a workspace, walk-in closet, and bathroom covers 40m².
The predominant material shaping this architectural masterpiece is wood, infusing the entire structure with warmth and comfort. Clean lines, earthy tones, and a calming color palette transform this dwelling into a welcoming and functional haven.
