The quest for sustainable architecture design inflames designers to experiment with ever new materials. . Led by architects Antonia Astori, Nicola De Ponti and Ester Pirotta, Studio Astori de Ponti has crafted the 'Green Frame House' from containers that have long been abandoned. The idea was to build a consolidated dwelling from a sturdy industrial module which had apparently lost its shelf life. Representing a meeting point of ideas and dreams the contrast between container dwelling's domestic interior and corroded exterior says it all about the story of preservation.
