Fishhoek Container House made with 5 shipping containers

The shipping container house was reconstructed by the previous owner on an area dug for another project.

Using shipping containers on this sloping site both shortened the construction time of the project and allowed for a stepped terraced structure to emerge.

The construction site was carefully prepared and then concrete foundations were poured for the containers. After that, steel columns were installed forming a supporting frame to hold each container in place.

The entire house is painted black, except for the supports holding the shipping containers. – Image Courtesy of The Insider SA ( Youtube )

This container house, where you can experience luxury with a panoramic view, stands out with many design wonders.

Designed by Ayla Damon of Poche Architectural Concepts, the Fishhoek container house was built using 5 shipping containers.

The container house, facing the Fishoek Valley landscape, has a luxurious and ostentatious look.

The landlord did not want the outer surface of the shipping containers to be covered. In this way, the container spirit continues at home.

The interior design of the container house is quite spacious and modern. – Image Courtesy of The Insider SA ( Youtube )

This beautiful container house has multiple rooms, a spacious kitchen and a terrace where you can spend your free time designing and enjoying the hillside view.

While the black, gray and white tones preferred in home design create a very elegant appearance in the container house, a different style is adopted by hanging the lighting from the ceiling.
