When the owner of this home was a kid he wanted to decipher the mechanisms of old clocks; as he grew older, his passion for mechanics continued with motorbikes and landrovers. So it’s natural that he wanted a utilitarian home he could also dismantle just like the elements of a clock. The whole house is designed for disassembly, meaning it can be broken into modules and transported to a different location if necessary.

To highlight the containers' legacy, and with it their scratches and dents, the architects removed the factory paint from their exterior skin. In contrast, the interiors were painted sanitary white or clad in light wood, making them more habitable.
