A Dallas architect has taken 14 shipping containers and transformed them into a stunningly modern 3,700-square-foot three-bedroom home. The home, dubbed 'PV14', also boasts a 1,400 sq ft roof deck that can fit up to 150 people, a 40ft long swimming pool on the ground floor and a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and the sparkling lights of the city's downtown. Matt Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that became the foundation for his home. Dallas architects Matt Mooney and Michael Gooden have transformed 14 shipping containers into a stunningly modern home . The 3,700 sq ft three-bedroom home, dubbed 'PV14,' boasts a 40ft long swimming pool on the ground floor that reflects the two-story glass-paneled tower, also built out of the containers . The home also features a 1,400 sq ft roof deck that can fit up to 150 people and has a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and downtown Dallas . Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that  built his home and thus all the ceilings were left exposed . The ceilings have been left exposed and the shipping container gates remained unpainted when they were converted into bedroom doors. Architect Michael Gooden, who worked with Mooney on PV14, said the designers wanted people to know what they were standing in when they stepped into the home. Gooden said the house's walls are made of sheet rock, which would make the home look 'normal' if the ceilings weren't left exposed, he told D Magazine.

Spray foam was also used between the building layers, to provide insulation that the containers can't provide, according to Inhabitat. But 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. On the house's open-floor first level, which is dedicated to entertaining, the polished cement used for the ground corresponds to the sleek steel of the shipping containers revealed overhead.

The upstairs levels are outfitted with maple wood floors to complement the views of the nearby park and lake, which provide a wallpaper for the house thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows . Deep porches protect the home from direct sunlight while still allowing natural light to seep in .

Mooney knew he wanted to build a home out of shipping containers 25 years ago, but it was only just recently he and his wife Barbara, a retired nurse, found the perfect spot - in the same neighborhood where they had lived for 23 years. A crew of 18-wheelers, with an audience of 200 people, transported the shipping containers to the chosen spot, which is on one of the highest elevations in the city - offering one of the best views. And after more than two years of design and construction, and a final tour for the Dallas chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the couple are finally preparing to move into their new home.

Architect Matt Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials and thus left the ceilings exposed to show the containers.
Containers were also used to build a stunning two-story glass-paneled tower that mirrors the shape of the pool.
200 people watched as 18-wheelers transported the materials that would become this stunning three-bedroom home.
