Created by chef/entrepreneur Alejandra Dellepiane, this fantastic one-of-a-kind high-class accommodation offers quality <a title="Luxurious Container Loft Accommodation Rises Meters Away From Unspoiled Uruguayan Beaches" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouvelle_cuisine" target="_blank">nouvelle cuisine</a>, eco-tourism, active sports and relaxation, all while looking after the local environment. Container Design Loft offers visitors a new way to relax while enjoying organic delicacies and discovering new places -- it's a great opportunity to live in a dreamy eco-friendly home for a few days while exploring South America's incredible dunes and deep blue sea.

After cooking for celebrities in LA, opening her own restaurant in Uruguay, and working with Philippe Starck on the Yoo Tower, Alejandra, chef Emmanuel Romano and her architect father created Container Design Loft in the small fishermen's town of Jose Ignacio.

Made from four shipping containers, the luxury accommodation offers loft apartments that have been tastefully decorated with 50s and 60s furniture that the host collected herself and refurbished through the years.

Designed for couples or small families, each apartment contains a double room, a toilet, a living room and a kitchen.

A solar water heater on the roof heats up the water, and all areas are illuminated by low-energy LEDs.

Philippe Starck's wash-hand basin gives the bathroom a luxurious, unique feel.

Creating an enjoyable outside space that connect the visitors directly with the environment was also very important.

The lower apartments have a view of the forest and the sea, while the top ones offer gorgeous marine views and brilliant night skies.

The self-sustaining garden features local plants.

An outdoor bubbling Jacuzzi is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon after a day at the beach.

There is also a vegetable patch, where Alejandra and her team grow different kinds of <a title="Luxurious Container Loft Accommodation Rises Meters Away From Unspoiled Uruguayan Beaches" href="http://inhabitat.com/zero-waste-vegetable-packaging-you-can-also-plant/" target="_blank">vegetables</a>, edible flowers, and aromatic herbs they use for cocktails and cooking meals in the specially designed outdoor wood fire.

Container Design Loft offers the perfect secluded eco-friendly accommodations to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with nature
