Nine shipping containers form the basis of this new multigenerational house near Denver.

For the master bedroom floor, Regan bought plywood panels from Home Depot and turned the wood distressing process into a family affair. "Libby and I were in there with protective headphones just banging away," he says. "We distressed it, stained it, and sanded it down." The bed is made out of a piece of wood Regan salvaged from an abandoned bridge.

The kitchen cabinets are from IKEA and the full refrigerator is by LG.

The Fosters unwind in the soaring, 960-square-foot great room. The family wanted plenty of space for hosting friends and events, as well as lots of bedrooms so they can rent the house to groups on Airbnb if they like.

A built-in bookcase, for stacks of memories.

The interior courtyard of the home faces northeast, looking out over the rolling hills.

Ryan says to think of the Mono as a "safe haven to escape to when you need a retreat."

A45 is assembled in modules on site and consists of 100-percent recyclable materials, including the timber frame, wall modules, and the subfloor.

The sauna-like bathroom is made of cedar and features fixtures from VOLA.

The indoor/outdoor structure embraces the wine-making process and provides a strong sense of space. The exterior wood is repurposed 100-year-old wine tanks.

With a stark and restrained design, the sense of presence and solitude are carefully elevated.
