A modern home with a unique bathtub, sunny roof terrace and striking angular façade on one of Adelaide’s smallest lots is made from shipping containers.

The contemporary four-storey home is located on a quiet residential street in the south-west corner of Adelaide’s bustling CBD, on a small 90 square meter block.

Architect Damien Chwalisz and owner Robert van Gorp collaborated to create the ultra-modern platform using eight High Cube shipping containers for quick and affordable construction.

A bright and spacious family room is located on the first level with floor-to-ceiling windows on every wall, a dusty green kitchen, and a sun-drenched balcony.

The second floor is occupied by the luxurious master bedroom with a wooden dressing room and a blue-tiled bathroom with a sculptural hammock-shaped bathtub.

On the top floor there is a home office with a built-in window seat and opens onto a stunning roof terrace with views of the Adelaide city skyline.

Two more cozy bedrooms are tucked away on the ground floor off the entrance hall and have a shared bathroom with aqua herringbone tiles and an open shower.

The neighboring block connects to the property and houses a carport and the first floor balcony.

Van Gorp bought the small block in 2011 for $205,000 and is now selling it.

He said he had always been inspired by Japanese architecture when it came to “micro homes,” which attracted him to the lot when it came on the market, adding that he would have bought it even if it were half the size.

He said he has been “gutted” by interest since the Hamilton Place property went on the market on Monday and expects crowds of people to turn up for upcoming inspections.

Van Gorp enlisted the help of Cwalisz a few years later. They started construction in 2016, building a new level from shipping containers every two weeks, and finishing at the end of 2018.

‘It’s a beautiful place, a beautiful house; My wife and I loved living in the city with the markets nearby. It’s not an easy decision to sell,” she told realestate.com.au.
