Contemporaneous Eco-Friendly Container Home in Chile
Infiniski Manifesto House is a beautiful project from Infiniski designers James&Mau (Jaime Gaztelu and Mauricio Galeano). Eco-friendly, made from reused and recycled materials, this modular architectonic beauty sits tall in Curacavi, Chile. The interior design and furniture was created by Comodo and different styles were mixed in order to achieve an elegant and modern interior.
Manifesto`s exterior is made from wooden panels on one side and from recycled pallets on the other. The exterior panels describe a very important feature in all Infinski designs: eco-friendly sustainability. Being made out of wood coming from sustainable forests, the panelling had to be placed smartly so that air can circulate and cool down the entire house. The two floors are actually four containers mounted on top of each other. On the bottom floor, a large opened living area was created. Huge windows and sliding doors help to naturally ventilate the home. A nice addition is the porch`s folding screen that offers shade and comfort in the warm Chile weather. It only took 90 days to take this from an empty terrain to a modern, contemporaneous and ecologic home.
On the 160 square meters rests a lot of hope for the future. Colours, textures and natural materials, combined with renewable energy sources used in more and more homes all over the world bring a better understanding of the surroundings. This home not only uses renewable energy but it can be constructed very fast and it doesn`t cost much. These characteristics are of extreme importance in a fast paced world where resources are dwindling.

solospiders on 20 Aug 20This water Insulated Water Bottle is amazing! I've had it for about 2 months now, and it hasn't let me down. When I was in the market for a new water bottle, I had a few necessary characteristics in mind: 1)Holds at least 32 ounces - gotta stay hydrated. 2)Holds ice water without condensation - I like my water cold, but I hate those little puddles of condensation. 3)Optional straw - I work a 9 to 5 desk job and my hands spend most of their time on the keyboard, so I like to just set my water bottle down on the desk in front of me and sip the straw. 4)Completely leak proof - I fly for work every week and my water bottle lays horizontally in my backpack under the seat in front of me, so there can't be any leaks. Nalgene water bottles are big enough, but they don't have a straw option and condensate like crazy unless you get a bulky sleeve. Camelbacks offer straws, but I've always had problems with those leaking and opening randomly. I ended up giving this water bottle a try and I LOVE IT! First, it holds plenty of water. Don't listen to that review that says this water bottle is too big for women. I'm a 23-year-old female and easily finish 2 of these bottles daily (80 oz) and sometimes even finish a third (120 oz). Next, it keeps your water COLD. I fill mine up a third of the way with ice every morning before leaving for work, and the ice is still there by the time I go to sleep. I've also filled it up all the way with ice before (just for fun) and the ice was still there 24 hours later. Plus, I've never noticed ANY condensation. Lastly, I've used it daily and I've never noticed ANY leaks. I've laid it horizontally, tipped it upside down, shook it around, everything. No leaks! They give you two tops: one twist-off cap and one straw cap, along with 2 straws and a straw cleaning brush. The brush is perfect for cleaning the straws, as well as the little nooks and crannies in the straw top. I would suggest using a
