We continue to share unique homes from Australia. Today we’re going to show a very different house.
2 expanded shipping containers were used for the container house located in the beautiful suburb of New Farm, Brisbane. The house was designed to fit their motto of modern, luxury and everyday.
Each floor of the container house has living/dining/kitchen/bathroom/bed areas. Roof windows have been added to the upper floor to allow the house to benefit more from natural daylight. A balcony has been added on the upper floor to enjoy the view around the container house.
The shipping containers used in the construction of the house were specially designed and expanded in line with the customer’s request. The usage area of each of the modules used in the house is 40 m2. In order to make the usage area more usable at home, many storage areas have been made inside the house.
Wrightson Stewart of Channon Architects undertook the design of this modular building, which gives a sense of luxury in every corner.
Since the land on which the building is located is 506 m2, it was thought that a modular structure would be more suitable as a solution.
Built using custom-made shipping containers, the house took a total of 17 weeks to build. Of this, 14 weeks is the construction of the container partitions, and 3 weeks is the arrival of the partitions from Foshan to Brisbane. The installation of the house was completed in just one day.
The container house project was completed in 2019.
The harmony of the houses on the street where the container house was built matched perfectly with the modular structure built and the house suited the location perfectly.
