As a kind of transportation container,

the appearance of container is generally simple and rough,

and the metal feeling is very strong, which can not go with warmth or luxury.

But it is necessary to build a livable building.

It just needs some special designs.

The container house, which has hidden the containers, is from Cape Town, South Africa.

It is highlighted by the open environment without buildings around.

The house is called the pod. It is located in Gordon Bay, Cape Town.

The siding and terrace are made of high-quality wood to surround the containers,

 creating a modern and fashionable appearance and comfortable internal environment.

The terrace in front of the house provides a spacious outdoor activity space for residents.

The box wall replaced by floor to ceiling windows connects the indoor

and outdoor at the same time, so as to improve the narrow space inside.

The living room is decorated with elegant colors, mainly black and white and gray.

A set of comfortable cloth sofa is set for the beautiful scenery outside the terrace.

Next to it is an open kitchen.

The sunlight coming in from the window illuminates the whole space.

The white cabinets contain appliances such as ovens, cupboards and washing machines,

which improve the utilization of space and make the console more concise.

There is also a shutter above the wall of

the bar to create conditions for circulating air.

The bedroom is located at the end of the house.

There is no complicated decoration and the space is compact.

Only a comfortable high bed is set facing the panoramic glass door.

The door is equipped with a shutter to keep the privacy of the rest environment.

The glass door can also be opened from the inside,

 directly leading to the outdoor terrace.

It is also a good choice to open the door for a nap.
