This beautiful penthouse garden sits atop a house owned by artist Lawrence Weiner and his wife Alice. The most unusual feature? Look behind Alice—the penthouse was built using two truck containers as a body. Designed by LOT-EK, this townhouse renovation creates a modern look with unexpected recycled materials.

A plan of the townhouse renovation that shows how the truck bodies were incorporated into the house. Plan from LOT-EK.
