Outside walls finishing.





Considerable saving selecting this green jacket option
in place of the "Costanera" skin (see here below) for the outside walls.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The external walls will be shaded with an easily removable skin 
made of a metal frame where “Costanera” timbers are fixed on it with round-head bolts.

The following image shows a material sample as reference.
This jacket aims to partially shade the modules from direct sun exposure 
and give them an image that will integrate and melt with the environnement.

We’ll only use the external layers of timbers 
with irregular organic edge lines fixed with a little distance from each other on top of a metal frame

 so that the cointainer structure can be perceived in the back ground creating a transparency that gives lightness to the visual impact of the container’s module.
Again, looking at the picture here above,
imagine taking off the underlayer of timbers and leaving only the top ones,
through the timbers gap you'll see the container wall in the back-ground.
At a later stage will decide if those timbers will be left in their natural color, yellish warm wooden tone (as shown in the pictures here above) 
that with weather oxydation will turn gradually to the typical silver grey color that wood gains when exposed to weather elements 
or they will get a layer of black “Bondex” 



diluted with solvent to give less intensity and more transparency to the paint in favour of a higher visibility of the wood structure.
The pictures here below
show a very close example of what the containers modules will look like.
The manifacturer will deliver them already in this color (ral 8022).



The pictures shown here below
are a sample of the traditional way to build wooden huts in the Comporta area.
Although the building site remains about 20 kms away from Comporta, 
down the EN 261 direction Grandola from Troia,
these dwellings typical of the Comporta/Carvalhal/Carrasqueira area were in my mind 
conceiving this design.








Technical drawings of the outside wall skin soon avaialable.
