Architects, graduates, engineers and students are being challenged to design a holiday house in Sydney’s iconic seaside suburb of Bondi Beach. The catch? The property has to be constructed from disused shipping containers.

According to the website of competition organiser AC-CA, the aim of the competition is to:

• Encourage and reward design excellence at a small scale which integrates function, structure, details and the spirit of waterfront home.
• Research and investgate the various combination possibilities for freight container units to meet the specified program.
• Generate the discussion and ideas about the reuse of freight container modules and encourage the employment of sustainable design in all aspects of the proposal.

The competition is open from 10 July to 5 November, with the winner to be announced on 20 November. Further information can be found here.
