Low-Cost 1000 sq ft Shipping Container Home, NSW, Australia.

The South Coast Container House consists of four shipping containers and truly demonstrates that good design is possible even on a limited budget. The four containers were arranged under an oversized flat roof, leaving their metal shells open to serve as both the exterior and interior cladding. Natural plywood floors and ceilings complete this contemporary palette. Large glass windows were incorporated into the ends, flooding the living areas with natural light and providing access to a covered terrace. It's also worth noting that the house was built with no excavation, no VOC paints, and natural wool insulation to protect the environment.

Economy, simplicity and energy efficiency were the driving principles behind Simon and Elise Byrne’s family getaway, near the coast, two hours from their busy Canberra lives. “We had a very small budget, but we wanted to produce something noteworthy,” says Simon. “I don’t buy the idea that good architecture is only for the wealthy.” He found a good match with sustainable architect Matt Elkan, who was happy to “talk about how cheaply we can build something cool.”

Tailored for the gently sloping block with the street to the west, good north aspect and bushland views to the east, Matt’s design centres around one 40-foot and three 20-foot shipping containers. One of the small ones forms a separate guest pod; the other two host modest bedrooms and are arranged to form an L-shape with the long container, which houses a bathroom, bunkroom and kitchen. A sunken lounge nestles into the corner of the L, and is surrounded by an extensive covered deck providing extra living space to the north and east.
