Flying Box Villa

2A Design has recently completed a surprising small and low cost house on a tiny plot, in a rural village next to Rennes, France.

In order to give the best response to the client, 2A Design built this house with shipping containers The house has been prefabricated in a factory then moved to the site and achieved in approximately three months. The project is divided in 3 levels. Each level is a 100 sqm area.

The ground floor is more technical: one parking for two cars, the covered entrance and the technical rooms; a sewing studio and a laundry. The shared life stand on the first level, the garden one. We can find there a comfortable living room, the main room of the house. The main volume of the house presents two glass facades. The first face is above the street. The house take part in the life of the street.

The other face, looking at the small garden, is completely transparent too. By its small dimensions, the garden look like a patio, a private room without ceiling, open to the sky. We are there hided from the wind and the views from the neighbourhood. You can then enjoy the patio for a comfortable chilling session! The last level, is another intimate space. The parental room is widely opening towards the large roof terrace.

This space is a kind of solarium, maybe the most qualitative place of the house. From there, you can enjoy a view from the village to the natural landscape of the country. Giving back the roof of the villa to its inhabitants is the only way to propose large outdoor spaces on a so small plot. The terrace is planted with trees.
