Building a house on the wasteland is undoubtedly a arduous project of "reclamation".

The geological conditions are complex.

If you want to build a stable house,

you must choose suitable building materials,

such as concrete pouring and modular construction.

Just like this silk The Black Box Home in Langu.

Located in Yucca Valley, California, USA,

this ultra-modern home consists of five 40-foot shipping containers

and a dedicated shipping container for the Yucca Valley pool.

The containers, all sourced from Honomobo, Canada,

were assembled on a steel and concrete foundation over a period of three days.

Five 40-foot-tall shipping containers are joined together on a concrete foundation,

creating a 142-square-meter living space.

Since the house rests on the slope,

a sloping concrete path was built in the direction leading to the house,

which is more convenient for walking

and can enjoy the sandy landscape along the way.

At the end of the path is the ground-level terrace of the house, which can be used for rest.

Before entering the house, you need to go up from the steel stairs next to the building.

The residence is a three-bedroom with ensuite and study,

the large living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen are set in the same space,

and 11 meters of floor-to-ceiling glass windows have been installed to

 provide the interior with a full range of wilderness views.

The home is fitted with a high efficiency air source heat pump for heating and cooling,

creating a truly spacious and efficient single storey home.

The most indispensable standard of a luxury house is a swimming pool,

not to mention in a wasteland with hot weather,

so this house also has an outdoor swimming pool made of containers.

 No need to dig and stack, just a cut container can get an affordable and stylish infinity pool.
