surprised Australia’s architecture scene with a striking modern
residence built from 31 shipping containers. Situated on 706 square
metres in Graceville, a quiet suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, this
unconventional home inspires a perpetual holiday feeling. The creative
dwelling sprawls over three floors and features graffiti artwork and an
impressive saltwater pool.
The
transition between indoors and out was a key factor to consider when
planning the design of this home, as highlighted by the numerous outdoor
spaces featured on each level: “
Seamless living areas span across
the first floor, merging together without interruption. Cleverly
designed to incorporate interesting angles, soaring voids and artistic
features, these abundant living spaces are both practical and visually
engaging. There are four bedrooms positioned over two levels, offering
space and privacy to accommodate the growing family“. An array of
different textures and finishes makes each interior dynamic and highly
inviting, while extensive use of windows maximizes the visual connection
with the nearby river and lush green surroundings.
