ABSTRACT: The quality of life is increasingly becoming focus on contemporary society. Among them, the concern with reducing energy consumption is important to due to the high taxes of the service and problems Brazil faces in the area. Therefore, humans aim to integrate life features to the local climate, in the built environment. This means consuming the least amount of energy compatible with environmental comfort to ensure a cleaner world for future generations. The challenge is to make the architectural project result in creating sustainable buildings through the justified and appropriate integration of bioclimatic strategies since its preparation. In this context, the objective of this research is to design a sustainable container house for the low-income population that brings thermal comfort to the user, in Natal / RN. The environmental variables of the city and the land were analyzed; recycled materials from the garbage of the city itself, were selected and applied in the design of the house and it used the container as a structural element. As a result, it is projected an aesthetically attractive model home, with the use of recycled materials, low energy consumption and better thermal and lighting performance.
