For and against
For
- The 20 ft wing closes a patio sheltered from the north: living room and kitchen open onto it.
- Living room, kitchen and double bedroom in the two-container block, 4.6 m wide: they meet the RGEU.
- 74 m² gross with three containers (two 40 and one 20 High Cube): 2 m² to spare over the 72 m² of a T2.
Against
- Two structural joints (the block’s shared wall and the link to the 20 ft).
- Bedroom 2 is at the limit: 9.3 m² and 2.20 m wide meet the twin-room rule, with no margin.
Sun orientation
Main block with living room and kitchen to the south; the 20 ft wing to the west shelters the patio from wind and afternoon sun.
Adjust the finish, used or new container and the land, and see the cost line by line.
