Casa Incubo is the name of a stunning shipping container home. Made up of eight containers, it is incredibly bright and spacious, which are qualities that anyone would love to have, especially those living in Costa Rica. Built in the country, the shipping container home brings a contemporary touch to the landscape even though it has a strong industrial feel as well.
Designed by Architect Maria Jose Trejos, the shipping container home not only serves as a residential space, but also a workspace. The architect shares, "This design was conceived as a modular concept with eight reusable 40’ High Cube containers, united by a central two-story module that serves as the unifying element for the rest of the spaces."
