The Adriance House is an architectural marvel that redefines modern residential design with its use of 12 repurposed shipping containers. Designed by Adam Kalkin and built by Sheridan Corporation, this 4,000 sq ft home is a harmonious blend of industrial aesthetics, functional design, and environmental consciousness. Located in the rugged landscapes of Northern Maine, this home showcases the potential of containerized architecture in creating both stunning and sustainable living spaces. At HCD, we are inspired by such innovative designs to deliver similar containerized solutions in Sri Lanka and beyond.
