Container Home 02

 I had some fun today designing another container home. This one I imagined overlooking the ocean and 100 feet away from a cliff that drops to the beach. It is made of eleven 40' shipping containers arranged in a contemporary fashion. The home is three stores, four bedrooms, three bath with a grass roof and view of the ocean.

This rear view shows how the house takes advantage of the view of the ocean. I added more glass the this part of the home for the view, but also to allow maximum sunlight exposure into the home. The backyard also features a lap pool facing the ocean.

In this top view photo, you can see how the lap pool lines up with the edge of the home and the "step down" look of the containers and floors of the home.
