A container House in which refugees can live in Netherlands and who can bring back if the country of origin is safe again. That's the idea of the Gouda architect Henk middelkoop.

The so-called returntainer should offer relief to refugees who have left their homes and during their flight here.

Possible their homeland about a while back quietly enough, but hardly livable because it largely is bombed out of existence. With the returntainer can pretty easily rise up, even a street or village think Henk middelkoop.

De Goudse architect has no idea where he with the detailed plan should come knocking. Nor who it is going to pay. Somewhere counting middelkoop on the Government. ,, The Deputy of South Holland want to know more. It is only brought out this weekend, so I expected more interest. The containers are in stock. We can get to work. ''

He has his plans in advance already registered with the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects. De Goudse architect hopes his plan a constructive contribution to solving the current refugee problem in Europe and Netherlands.

Comfortable

Middelkoop:,, The returntainer is decorated and isolated, so that excellent comfortable living possible. At the end of the reception period, the inhabitants of the container indicate where exactly they delivered him in their home countries. '' Then they can customize him. ,, We can certainly arrange logistics in Netherlands, after all, we are the country par excellence, '' allows middelkoop.

The returntainer is according to middelkoop with some minor adjustments can be used as a House soon. ,, The container unit is easily accomplished by a used container to get rid of the doors and some pieces of the side panel. ''

These are stored in the return phase them back in the container. ,, The Interior we work off with insulated panels and a simple kitchen and bathroom. Units can also be linked to larger families.

So we can build an entire village and drop. '' As for locations, the returntainer-concept on waste land or even in agricultural area. Middelkoop: if desired, we grab a container or container village so on shipping to the home country. In their homeland arrived, the asylum seekers from the container home rebuild their new existence and serve their homeland with their abilities and skills gained in Netherlands. ''

The containers are already on sale: 3500 euros for a new and 1700 euro for a used. Completely furnished comes a container on 20,000 euros. In addition, the site preparation and the construction of the facilities at the ground. ,, Not cheap, but still much cheaper than a permanent home. ''
