VIMOB Modular Home

Inside, there’s living, dining, and kitchen areas that flow directly into one another for a more open feel, along with two bedrooms, as well as a bathroom located at the opposite end of the space. Floor-to-ceiling windows and patio areas extend these spaces to give them more of an unrestricted feel. Click here to view an actual shipping container home.

“VIMOB was meant to travel to remote sections of the world- its first prototype was placed in the lush area of Matapalo, Colombia. To make this possible, the architects limited the amount of supplies and labor that would be required to construct the building. They developed a pier-and-beam foundation system, which generates less raw material waste and minimizes its carbon footprint. All you need is a basic set of tools and you’ll have a home exactly where you want it,” reports My Modern Met.
