Solo Office (10ft Container)

Written by Lee Smith | Mar 22, 2022 4:32:31 PM

We constructed a small home office for an entrepreneur looking for a space to work from home without
distractions.
We repurposed a 10ft shipping container by fixing the container doors open, then installing a full height
and width window where the doors would be closed and installing a 2-pane bi-fold door. We lined one
wall (opposite the door) with drywall and fitted an in-built desk and shelving unit.
The external façade was repainted with anti-corrosion paint and left uncladded to suit our customer’s
desire for an industrial look.
