Living in the jungle, you can enjoy the most authentic natural ecology,

 but you should also consider your own living needs.


Jamie Smallwood is a professional planner who is good at working around

the maintainability of structural business, including building his own shelter.


This is a private house hidden in the remote rainforest area of Byron Bay,

creating a quality and self-sufficient life.







It is transformed from a container with minimal impact on the environment,

which can protect the surrounding ecology as much as possible.


Buildings hidden in the jungle don't have to worry too much about heat insulation.


The trees have provided enough shade.


However, in order to ensure heating and daily cooking in winter,

Jamie Smallwood needs to store enough dry wood.


A triangle tent in front of the door can do this.


 In addition, it also stores a lot of working tools.








The house has two floors,

and the wooden stairs next to the building can connect the upper and lower floors.


In order to enjoy the beauty of the jungle more comfortably,

the second floor of the house uses the leftover materials of containers to make a small terrace,

 where simple chairs can be placed for rest.


The railings are made of fully transparent glass to reduce the visual barrier during viewing.






The first floor of the house is mainly used as kitchen and living room,

and the second floor is set as bedroom and rest area.


The open kitchen is set next to the openable door

to provide sufficient light and save power.


The fireplace for heating is placed in the middle of the living room,

and some wood is stacked on the wall for easy access at any time.


The style of the bedroom on the second floor is mainly warm,

creating a simple feeling of the forest house.
