Shipping Container Carport and Studio

We like to push the boundaries wherever we can in the pursuit of unique design. These clients offered us the perfect opportunity. This barn, studio, and carport offers a very flexible space for storage needs, guest space, and a place to cover the car when inclement weather strikes. We used a 40' long "high cube" shipping container for one half of the structure. It was used for many trips across the pacific ocean before being used as a storage rental container. Its patina is a reminder of its past life, and its current from is the ultimate in repurposing. The second structure is a traditional wood framed structure with light insulation and thermal glass. It can be used in all seasons and is a great flex space. The car port is 20 feet long and 14 feet wide. It offers a great space to keep most any car out of the immediate weather. We wanted to give our client a structure that would push the boundaries of traditional design, while including elements of vernacular architecture. We really enjoy when a project like this comes together and we can truly create something one of a kind.
