Incredible luxury mansion made entirely from shipping containers featuring 150-person roof deck, a 40ft swimming pool and views of the Dallas skyline (31 Pics)

  • Dallas, Texas architect Matt Mooney had first thought of building a shopping container home 25 years ago

  • He built a 3,700-square-foot, three-bedroom home made out of shipping containers in White Rock Lake

  • The home has a 1,400-square-foot roof deck and a 40-foot-long swimming pool 

  • Dallas architect Matt Mooney first dreamed up the idea for a home built out of shipping containers more than 25 years ago


    The home features a 40-foot-long swimming pool and is located in White Rock Lake, a neighborhood of Dallas

    The home's open-floor first level is dedicated to entertaining. Pictured is an open kitchen and living room

    A construction worker works on the railing for a staircase in the home. The house's walls are made of sheet rock


    A child looks up at the home built of 14 shipping containers, which is pictured while under construction

    Shipping containers were stacked in place via a crane and the help of construction workers


    Pictured is an interior of the home while it was under construction


    A child walks along the under-construction floor. Spray foam was used between the building layers, to provide insulation that the containers can't provide


    The staircases to different floors parallel each other, as this image shows

    The bathroom features two mirrors and a mirror cabinet. It also has two sinks. It opens on to the bedroom


    Pictured is another view of the large and open first-floor, which features a small dining area and a snug area with a beanbag chair

    Pictured is one of the home's three bedrooms. The upstairs levels are outfitted with maple wood floors to complement the views of the nearby park and lake

    A chair with angular supports is in the foreground of this image of the open first floor

    Pictured is a view of the 1,400-foot deck outside the home which offers views of the surrounding area


    Pictured is a twilight view of the home, which comes complete with a pathway and a wall that appears to be made of wooden stumps

    Pictured is a daytime view of the home. Deep porches protect the home from direct sunlight while still allowing natural light to seep in


    The home offers views of Dallas (far left), a Texas city that anchors the nation's fourth-largest metropolitan area


    The house's walls are made of sheet rock, which would make the home look 'normal' if the ceilings weren't left exposed,


    Pictured is a nighttime view of the home. One of the most striking uses of the containers is the two-story, glass-paneled tower that overlooks and mirrors the shape of the house's long, slim pool, which carries the tower's reflection


    Pictured is another nighttime view of the home. Matt Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that became the foundation for his home

    It was only just recently Mooney and his wife Barbara, a retired nurse, found the perfect spot to build their home

    When they built their home, they had been living in the White Rock Lake neighborhood for 23 years


    Pictured is another view of the home while it was under construction


    A container is being lifted onto the home. The Dallas skyline appears in the distance across White Rock Lake


    A crew of 18-wheelers, with an audience of 200 people, transported the shipping containers to the chosen spot

    The containers are pictured being placed on top of each other during the construction of the home
