Adding to the old and new mix of the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, is a 5,000 square-foot, single-family modular residence fashioned from 21 shipping containers, says ny.curbed.com. Architect LOT-EK reports the 25 X 50 foot building is cut diagonally at the top and bottom, and each level has outdoor space with large glass doors that offer light and cross ventilation. The description also includes a drive-in garage, family room with bleacher seating, a barbecue pit and lap pool. MHProNews has learned the master bedroom features an open shower.
