Located on owner Lucas Steyn’s family farm in Botrivier, South Africa—about 90 minutes from Cape Town—Copia is an eco-retreat comprised of two shipping container cabins.
The main room opens to the quad through a large pivoting garage door.
The 40-foot-long containers hang 16 feet over the ground. The deep balcony, Gooden says, offers solar protection, keeping strong sunlight out but letting natural light in. The home has three bedrooms, a den, and three and half baths.
The home exterior was recently sandblasted and painted with a ship-grade, high-gloss industrial paint.
Nine shipping containers form the basis of this new multigenerational house near Denver.
