More cargotecture &amp;#8212; Colorado house constructed from shipping containers

This project questions the need for excessive space and challenges occupants to be efficient. Two [retired] shipping containers saddlebag a taller common space that connects local rock outcroppings to the expansive mountain ridge views. The containers house sleeping and work functions while the center space provides entry, dining, living and a loft above.
The project is planned to be off-the-grid using solar orientation, passive cooling, green roofs, pellet stove heating and photovoltaics to create electricity.

Designed by&nbsp;Studio H:T, whose principals were involved in the design of this University of Colorado student project built from pallets and various found materials.
