CHOOSING SHIPPING CONTAINERS

SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE REALLY INTERESTING OBJECTS

THEY AREN'T JUST USED TO TRANSPORT THINGS ALL OVER THE

WORLD, THEY CAN BE STACKED AND CONVERTED IN MANY

DIFFERENT WAYS, TO CREATE INDIVIDUAL HOMES, RETREATS AND

WORK SPACES.

WHAT BETTER WAY TO CREATE, A CREATIVE WORK SPACE, THAN

TO BE CREATIVE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING ITSELF, AND

TO THINK CREATIVELY ABOUT HOW THE BUILDING WILL BE USED.

 

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF CREATIVE USES FOR SHIPPING CONTAINERS:

THESE CONTAINERS ARE ALL AMAZING. 

HOWEVER THIS IS MY FAVOURITE:

THIS BUILDING SITS SO WELL IN THE LANDSCAPE, THE RUSTING

EXTERIOR OF THE GROUND FLOOR GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT IT

HAS BEEN THERE FOR MANY YEARS, WITH THE FIRST FLOOR

LOOKING LIKE A MODERN ADDITION.

THE CLEAN LINES AND SIMPLE DESIGN IN THIS BUILDING PROVE

THAT SIMPLE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.  THE ARCHITECT USED 4 - 45 FOOT

SHIPPING CONTAINERS THAT HE HAD WELDED TOGETHER

TO TRANSFORM THEM INTO THIS AMAZING ABODE.

 

THE EXTERIOR HAS BEEN CLAD IN METAL TO HIDE THE FACT THAT

THE BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED FROM SIMPLE SHIPPING

CONTAINERS.

I CAN SEE WHY THE DESIGNER DECIDED TO CREATE A ROOF

GARDEN, JUST LOOK AT THAT VIEW.

THE INTERIOR IS LIGHT AND AIRY, WITH CLEAN LINES LINKING IT

WITH THE EXTERIOR DESIGN OF THE BUILDING.  PERSONALLY I'D

HAVE CHOSEN A DIFFERENT STYLE OF SOFA WITH CLEANER LINES

TO GIVE A CONTINUAL FLOW OF DESIGN STYLE THROUGHOUT THE

HOME LINKING EVERYTHING TOGETHER NICELY.

THIS BEAUTIFUL HAMOCK BATH HAS LOVELY SIMPLE CLEAN LINES,

THE COST HOWEVER CAME TO A GRAND TOTAL OF £16,500.  I LOVE

IT BUT SADLY I THINK IT'S JUST A LITTLE OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE!

THE MAN BEHIND THIS AMAZING DESIGN IS PATRICK BRADLEY A

FARMER AND ARCHITECT WHO BUILT THIS HOME ON HIS OWN

LAND IN COUNTY DERRY.

AFTER RESEARCHING AND TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT USES

FOR SHIPPING CONTAINERS, OUR GROUP (515) DECIDED THAT THIS

WAS THE BUILDING TYPE FOR US AND OUR DESIGN. 

I STARTED TO DEVELOP POSSIBLE LAYOUTS FOR THE SHIPPING

CONTAINERS, TO SEE HOW MANY WE WOULD NEED FOR OUR

FINAL DESIGN OUTCOME.
