ecoShip Apartments Project

The University of Melbourne – Team 1

Submission Extract: The ecoShip solution proposes an innovative and cost-effective method of modular building construction which re-uses bolsters containers as apartment room modules to create the ecoShip Apartments — a low rise apartment complex consisting of a mix of one and two bedroom apartments. The general base structure for all container modules is similar and different arrangements of walls and cladding added depending on the size, shape, use and location of the module. This allows for an easily customisable and flexible method of modular design using a single base structure.
