I'm still testing out ideas for designing and building my own home, using primarily shipping containers, with various sites that are currently available. This design study took about 8 hours.
Conceptually, it's a 1,920 sf (exterior dimensions) house with an accessory dwelling unit, in this case, a home office / production studio, with its own parking spot, as mandated by the jurisdiction this is located in. I'm always interested in creating spaces, so there is a low -- 3' tall -- partial retaining wall that helps isolate the space from the busy street traffic, and an elevated deck that ties in the ADU and main living area.
It's not a complete design, obviously, so I've left out a lot of fussy details. It's more of a massing and layout design.
