North Beach Condominiums is a modern and sustainable housing project that exemplifies the potential of shipping container architecture in an urban setting. Designed by Hybrid Architecture and built by Barcelo Homes, this condominium development in Seattle pushes the boundaries of modular living. The project is a perfect blend of innovation, eco-friendliness, and modern design, offering functional spaces that integrate seamlessly into the landscape while reducing environmental impact.
Build Method
The North Beach Condominiums are made up of a series of repurposed shipping containers, arranged to form multiple living units. The containers are configured to create spacious homes, with the modular structure allowing for flexibility in design. Each unit is carefully crafted with large glass windows that open up to stunning views of the surrounding environment, making the most of natural light.
The containers are stacked and welded together to create cohesive multi-level buildings, with each unit designed to optimise the use of space without compromising on comfort. Timber finishes, steel detailing, and eco-friendly materials throughout the interiors provide warmth and character, balancing the industrial aesthetic of the containers.
Interbode Thoughts
North Beach Condominiums are a great example of how shipping containers can be transformed into stylish, functional housing solutions. The combination of the raw industrial exterior with the modern and inviting interiors creates a unique living environment that embraces sustainability without sacrificing comfort. The project not only offers an efficient use of space but also demonstrates how container architecture can provide high-quality, affordable housing in urban areas. We appreciate the design’s ability to integrate seamlessly into its environment while providing a modern lifestyle experience.
