Polymecca is a wonderful example of a well crafted house truck. The house itself measures 14′ long, 8′ wide, and 7.5′ tall. It has a steel frame for strength and lots of woodwork.

This is an excellent example of how the industrial character of shipping containers can be subdued by a natural setting, and a little dirt sprinkled on top… ha-ha. This is Cove Park in Scotland.
