Area: 1,600 sq ft (148 sqm)
Containers: 4 × 40 ft High Cube
Bedrooms: 2

Nestled in the forests of La Primavera, Mexico, the original Huiini House by S+ Diseño redefined simplicity and sustainable living. Designed for a retired homeowner who desired peace and clarity, the home’s “stacked box” form became an architectural statement - calm, structured, and intimately connected with nature.
Inspired by this globally admired project, Hybrid Cargotecture Development (HCD) introduces a Sri Lankan adaptation of the Huiini-Inspired 2 Bedroom Container Retreat - a minimal, elegant hybrid home crafted for tropical comfort, fast delivery, and lasting beauty.
Architectural Character
Composed of four repurposed 40-ft high cube containers, the home’s design layers two containers above two, offset to create shaded terraces and natural cross ventilation. Inside, the open layout merges the living, dining, and kitchen areas into a continuous, airy volume. The upper level includes a guest suite, studio space, and a private balcony ideal for quiet mornings or sunset views.
Every inch of the structure reflects balance - from its geometric precision to the way light filters through large glazed openings. Compact yet generous, it transforms modular form into a tranquil modern home.
Designed for Sri Lanka
HCD’s engineering team has reimagined the Huiini concept to perform beautifully in the island’s tropical climate:
-
Tropical Insulation System: Double-layer walls with thermal and acoustic protection for year-round comfort.
-
Solar-Ready Roofing: Designed for rooftop photovoltaic panels and rainwater harvesting integration.
-
Ventilated Façade & Deck Overhangs: Encourage airflow and minimize direct heat gain.
-
Corrosion-Protected Steel: Special coatings ensure longevity in coastal, urban, or highland conditions.
-
Rapid Completion: Fully prefabricated build, ready in 12–14 weeks.
Space & Function
-
Ground Floor: Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen; master bedroom with ensuite; laundry and terrace.
-
Upper Floor: Guest bedroom, study area, and balcony overlooking greenery.
-
Total Area: 1,600 sq ft with dual terraces and high ceilings that expand spatial comfort.
This design is ideal for homeowners seeking a modern retreat, boutique villa developers looking for fast, eco-conscious builds, or retirees who dream of a peaceful, low-maintenance home.
