The front Container – which contains the Kitchen – has the largest openings, including a cantilevered deck on hydraulic hinges that closes to seal the container from the elements. It has sliding doors, opposite that connect to a dining space. The sides of these can be enclosed by steel shutters on rollers. One of the key features of the design is the ability to close down the building against the elements. “Being able to lock down the structure entirely with steel was a big advantage in terms of bushfire resistance.” The central container houses three bedrooms, with pivoting doors at both ends and a sliding door in the middle, while the rear container boasts two bathrooms and a storage space.
