Designed by Jure Kotnik Arhitekt, the 2+ Weekend House is a container house with a difference - it's made with containers manufactured expressly for housing (vs. cargo containers). "As opposed to the other container projects, which mostly feed on the excess of available cargo containers, ConHouse pushes the development of containers manufactured especially for housing and office purposes.". The 2+ is a two-level mini housing unit composed of two stacked containers perpendicular to each other. The upper container provides a projecting roof above the entrance and also serves to shelter the back terrace. The ceiling of the bottom container is the terrace on the first floor.
