Container House

Church Point, Sydney Builder: Elo Silo Photography: Toby Peet Located on a steep terrain in heavy bushland on Garigal Country in Church Point, the design evolved around the concept of repurposing used shipping containers into a small yet bespoke family home. The expression of raw industrial materials within a bush landscape enveloped by native flora became the cornerstone of the design. The project faced challenges including restrictive bushfire controls, protection of native trees and difficult access but the finished build demonstrates how beautiful and functional an unnatural element can reside within a wild and natural place.
