With the natural advantages of vast territory and abundant resources,

more and more new Zealanders like to take root in the jungle,

grassland, hillside and other natural environments.

 The biggest demand for the construction of

such houses is to protect the outdoor landscape.

The characteristics of modular buildings,

which are ready to use and ready to move,

fully meet the needs of ecological sustainable development.

The [Maxi apartment pod] project was

 converted from New Zealand shipping containers,

and only a 1 x 40 foot container was used

 when the house was built in Ross on the west coast.

The house is a little high off the ground,

which can reduce the erosion of wet geology on containers,

which is a very correct approach.

The side and front of the container have been cut

and installed with floor glass windows.

 Except for the rear of the house,

all the windows on the wall can be opened directly,

creating a very fashionable and elegant appearance.

At the same time, the wooden deck is built in front of the house,

and a leisure barbecue area is set in front of the container.

You can watch the beautiful sunset and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

The interior decoration of the container house is simple and convenient.

There is a sofa, a bar with two high stools

and a fully equipped kitchen in the living room.

The fully transparent glass window on

one side brings sufficient natural light to the room,

which can save a lot of electric energy during the day.

On the other side of the house is a bedroom separated by a cabinet.

A comfortable double bed is set against the wall.

The fully transparent glass window has frosted curtains,

 which can be opened and used when a private environment is needed.

The soft decoration materials in the house are

made of comfortable materials and colors,

 and the layout is warm, so that residents can really enjoy the rest.

The bathroom is set at an end of the container.

The small space has an independent bathroom surrounded by a glass vertical plate.

The frosted glass window on one side can

both transmit light and maintain privacy,

creating an energy-saving living place.
