Cinco Camp, Roger Black’s West Texas retreat, is made of five shipping containers on his 3,000-acre ranch. “I wanted something that blends into the landscape and could be installed and eventually removed with minimal disturbance to the environment,” he said.
Mr. Black, who was the art director at Rolling Stone in the 1970s, and at The New York Times and Newsweek in the 1980s, is now a publications consultant. He built this house, a nine-hour trip from his Manhattan apartment, last year.
The units, finished off site and set in place by cranes, retain their original exterior doors. When sealed, they keep out the elements, not to mention snakes.
The kitchen has custom cabinetry and furniture by Mr. Wellen. “It’s comfortable, but you get more than six people in here and you start to bump into each other,” Mr. Black said.
“Out here, I get back to reality ... whatever reality is," Mr. Black said.See more photos here.
