Container Living by Contained
Portable Luxe
Container conversions are nothing new, but few are as stylish and luxurious as the ones from Australia-based Contained.
Designed with luxury, versatility and sustainability in mind, each container is custom-designed to suit different requirements, whether it is a micro-home, temporary office or pop-up showroom. We love the clever space-extending features such as the pull-out glass-walled extension and the alfresco area as well as the quality finishes and luxurious touches.

Product Inspiration
What could be a better companion to a container home than clever storage units made from airplane trolleys? These ones from Bordbar come in full trolley, box trolley and wall-mounted cube versions.
Maximise space with sleek wall lights such as the Walker light from Menu or sleek table lights such as the Table Tower table light from Frederik Roije. The Piknik portable wireless light from LZF would be great for the outdoor areas.
Keep accessories simple and functional. Try the Cool Breather from Menu, the Life in Progress clock from Lyon Beton and the aGroove bluetooth speaker from Kreafunk.

Kamikatsu Zero Waste Centre by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP
Sustainable design is all the rage, but it is rare to see projects which embrace sustainability as whole heartedly as the Kamikatsu Zero Waste Centre. Perhaps that's because what is at stake here is not just environmental credentials.
Villa B by Powerhouse Company and Liaigre
Prestige and wealth often go hand in hand with ostentations displays, but true class is best conveyed with utmost discretion. A case in point is Villa B, designed by the architects at Powerhouse Company and interior designers at Liaigre.
Federal House by Edition Office
Black has been regarded as the colour of choice for style-makers and design aficionados alike but few architects have dared to design an entirely black home. As this rather cool house shows, they have nothing to fear and a lot of serenity to gain.
