Location :San Antonio, United States

Architect: Poteet Architects

Project Team: Jim Poteet, Brett

Freeman, Isadora Sintes, Shane
Valentine

Contractor: Poteet Architects

Area :320.0 m2

The finished project serves as a
guesthouse and is fitted with a
shower/WC and a custom stainless sink.
The large steel and glass lift/slide and
end window wall open the interior to the
surrounding landscape. The remainder of
the interior is used as a garden shed.

Other innovative material choices

informed the design: the container
“floats” on a foundation of recycled
telephone poles. The deck is made up of
HVAC equipment pads (made of recycled
soda bottles) set in a steel frame.
