Australian sculptor Matthew de Boer saw a big potential in an old railway carriage built in 1969. Matthew decided to make it a charming small country home.

The roof was partially destroyed, and the builder decides that it is easier to replace it. The oak curved crossbar and wooden planks covered with corrugated iron sheets give strong character to this conversion design.

Matthew added 8 small windows to invite sunlight inside the car. Kitchen cabinets were made of old furniture.It took about six months to finish the conversion design project. Now a cozy carriage-house costs about $ 200 per night.
