Contemporary sustainable house design......

The Infiniski Manifesto House,

The Infiniski Manifesto House is a prefabricated building of contemporary sustainable house design was designed by Jaime Gaztelu and Mauricio Galeano, James & Mau as architects and designers. The Infiniski Manifesto House that located in Curacaví, Chile, is not only green home design, it is cheaply and quickly. The modular home is composed of two 40? shipping containers and two 20? containers. The wooden pallets that used on the home exterior gives it fantastic texture, but also has purpose, they provide shade and allow the home design to be naturally cooled, since air can move freely between the slats. The containers meanwhile, are completely weather tight and provide the necessary structural capacity for the green home.






Infiniski designs and builds eco-friendly houses and buildings based on the use of recycled building material, re-used building material and non polluting materials and the integration of alternative and renewable green energy. It tries to think the values of architectural design and construction differently, a contribution to the needs of our changing environment. For Infiniski Manifesto House projects, James & Mau offer innovative and contemporary designs based on bio-climatic and modular architecture.

The sustainable interior design at the Infiniski Manifesto House is airy and open due to a large living space on the bottom floor created by the placement of the containers. What seems like inexpensive storefront windows are used as the walls, which can be slid open to naturally ventilate the sustainable house design. There is also a folding screen to create a covered outdoor porch or shade the interior from the sun when folded down. Geothermal heat pumps also help provide heating and cooling. The green house design pictures was taken by Antonio Corcuera.
