The house is constructed of two 40 foot by 8 foot containers (aluminum, high tops) placed ontop of 20 pillars sunk 4 feet into the ground. Central walls were cut out, with rounded corners creating an "arch" between the two containers. The space is narrow and compact but has proven to be very comfortable for our purposes. As you come through the front door, you are in the living area. The entertainment center at the far end consists of six pieces of rosewood desks and side tables purchased from a hotel salvage company. The wood is very high quality and cost $35. each (recycled!). They are narrow pieces that stack nicely to provide a bookcase that reaches the ceiling and two desks, stacked to provide a computer center and placement for a large flat screen television. Two recliners provide a comfortable place to rest, watching the television or just gazing out the windows at the lush greenery outside.
