The Containers.

The shipping container offers an alternative to traditional architecture by providing mobility, strength, and innovative construction.
No techniques or materials are perfect for all applications. Shipping containers are simply a new base material. In our design idea, shipping containers should not hide their appearance. The interest here is keeping the container as a container - in its truest form.
Dimensions:
20 ft (length) x 8 ft (width) x 8.5 ft or 9.5 ft (height)
Weight: 5,000 lbs when empty
In our studio in Hudson, we provide design-solutions for small house additions. This could include an extra office, a yoga studio, a workspace, a play-room, etc.
Designed and built in a controlled environment, in a short period of time. Building in our studio allows for minimal destruction of the client’s land.
Turning the container into a fully finished unit takes around 6-8 weeks time.

Not all aspects of the container construction process are entirely green, but many elements are. Ultimately, the container provides a long-lasting and durable space made special with quality craftsmanship. In an always changing and “throw away” type of society, focusing on what is long-lasting, high quality, and will sustain harsh weather conditions is an extreme benefit of building with containers.
