  • Moreno Flores and Sebastian Calero's industrial-chic container home RDP House
    Architect duo <a href="http://arquitectodanielmorenoflores.blogspot.com.ar/" target="_blank">Daniel Moreno Flores</a> and Sebastian Calero built this <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/industrial-chic/" target="_blank">industrial-chic</a> home using seven <a href="http://inhabitat.com/?s=shipping+container" target="_blank">repurposed shipping containers</a>. Located on a green flat area in Pichincha, Ecuador, the "RDP House" reflects the client's passion for mechanics, motorbikes and cars, but its rough and ready utilitarian style is interrupted by wooden interiors and glazed walls that connect the interior with the outdoors.
