This prefab modular shipping container home built into hill, is an excellent example of industrial design in residential housing. Re-use of sea containers make the price of this 3 container 4 story home very attractive. The shipping containers are quite durable, allow designers to widely combine the arrangement of premises and provide great opportunities for architects of modular houses.

All three levels are homely, cozy and offer the modern comforts of a contemporary house with many more quirky features conventional houses don't have. Two large outdoor decks face towards a beautiful leafy Greywacke rock face as well as your own private waterfall - a great place to entertain friends and have dinners and drinks.

Superb indoor/outdoor flow into a kitchen ensures a relaxed living space with dining table. The top floor media/cinema room is great for kids to enjoy a movie or play video games. The pool room offers great billiard table and sofa seating.

Three unique bedrooms can sleep up to 6 people with extra bedding available for 2 more guests. There are 2 bathrooms, 8 seater spa pool with jet bubbles and outdoor shower for the brave.
