      Port a Bach. A Holiday Shipping Container Home. New Plymouth, New Zealand.

        Port a Bach is a unique prototype that exemplifies sustainable architecture by upcycling shipping containers. Designed by Atelierworkshop, the prototype was built in Hangzhou, China, and shipped to New Zealand. Now, it forms part of the permanent collection at the Puke Ariki Museum in New Plymouth.
