Cecile Bonnifait and William Giesen have built a bach (holiday home) out of a 20ft shipping container. This isn’t an easy accomplishment. They pulled it off by having one side of the container fold down to open up to the outdoors. Doing this gives the home a bright and open feeling. Every inch of it is cleverly planned out and utilized.

A bach “is the name given in New Zealand to structures akin to small, often very modest holiday homes or beach houses.They are an iconic part of New Zealand history and culture.” (Wikipedia)
