design a home consisting of three 40 ft shipping containers that are installed on concrete pylons. all three containers are secured side-by-side, creating a 900 square foot interior living space. two large bay windows in front and a 4' wide steel front door. the base of the home has a5' feet wide wrap-around deck. the roof of the home is flat and 6" above the roof is a wooden deck that covers the entire area of the roof. there are six 25' foot tall telephone poles that are installed around the home; one at each corner and one on each side of the home positioned between the corner posts. these posts provide support for the deck roof, and also make great support posts that can be used to create posts for enclosing the entire lower and upper deck areas (florida rooms) in outdoor patio screen. when finished, the home will look like it consists of two levels of florida rooms that completely surround the main living structure within. the living structure will consist of the main floor residence, and a large enclosed party deck above the home that acts as a second floor. a great tropical vibe florida home.
