The Strip House is compact living at it’s finest. At 480 square feet, constructed of (1) 40′ and (1) 20′ high cube container comes complete with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, full IKEA kitchen, dining and living spaces. The main bedroom and bath are housed in the 20′ container while the second bedroom is actually elevated above the living area as a loft space accessible via ships ladder. The way this is achieved is by removing the top of the 40′ container and framing a wedge shaped top, or roof, creating not just the loft but also a unfinished utility space where we conceal the HVAC equipment.
This design also features a green roof, which could also be an urban garden, rain water collection for washing dishes and flushing the toilet and either gas or electric tankless water heating. A solar array can be added to the roof to take care of electrical demand (depending on actual location).
The containers are exterior insulated with a minimum 2 1/2″ closed cell spray foam insulation with an additional waterproof membrane and a combination of cement stucco and a vertical wood rain screen. The wedge shaped roof is coated in a durable, liquid applied roofing membrane and features a single gutter and rain water catchment system described above.
