‘C-home hudson’ is the first prototype of C-home, a series of prefab houses pre-designed and pre-engineered by LOT-EK. its design comprises six 40-foot /12-meter shipping containers, which together provide 1.920 square feet / 178 square meters of living space on two levels. the ground level encloses all communal spaces, such as the kitchen, living and dining rooms, while private rooms are located on the level above. each of the two bedrooms is accessible via its own staircase, and features a private bathroom and walk-in closet.front view
