His low-tech creations were inspired by the simplicity and reliability of the nautical world.Valda wanted to use a container because he could build it at his workshop and easily transport it to his off-grid site.
The house is equipped with solar panels, as well as a wind turbine, ensuring your batteries can be charged at all times of the day and all seasons. It is equipped with a refrigerator, water heater, and other 12 V and 24 V appliances according to your needs.
