Modified Shipping Container Your Next Interior Design Project Posted by Stephen Shang on Wed Apr 10 2013 08 00 AM
Highly recommended Container Builder-Austin, Texas
The use of a modified shipping container for your business’ operation has been decided. The steel structure has the ideal exterior dimensions. The inherent strength of the corrugated steel combined with its overall stability and mobility has made it the perfect base structure for the extra space you need.Now comes the interior layout and the placement of openings, personnel stations, electrical hook-up or bathroom facilities. Whatever the intended use of your conex box is, there are some Questions to consider to assist in the interior design of your 20 or 40 foot repurposed shipping container.
What Are You Using the Space for?
- Be aware of the dimensions of the interior space. While the exterior dimensions are standard, the addition of insulation, finished ceilings or ductwork reduces the maximum interior height and width.
- Consider the square footage of the interior space after the addition of modifications when determining the amount of items that can be contained inside a Falcon Utility Box.
- In the case of the Falcon Office Box, ideally 2 individuals to one 20-foot container and 4 to a 40-foot container is ideal if the space is used for a full 40-hour workweek.
- Are you in a client-facing business and is the office furniture you plan on using sized to accommodate this?
- Interior space planning through modeling is recommended for the placement of workstations and interior equipment.
- If the Utility or Office Box is used intermittently, consider the maintenance steps to insure ventilation is continuous and the interior space is cared for.
- Using interior cooling and heating occasionally without continuous humidity control can create moisture build up.
- You have taken into consideration the use of the conex box and the amount of items or personnel that will be using it. It is important to consider the interior climate needs.
- If the interior space is broken up into rooms or workstations, it will be important to design airflow through duct work or wall placement to maintain uniform temperature.
- The Boxperts at Falcon Container will work with you to determine the correct amount of air conditioning combined with the insulation type to use to create a climate-controlled environment.
- Different HVAC units have different space requirements and energy source needs. Depending on your needs this will be taken into consideration.
- The exterior climate will be a factor when deciding on a few of the interior design elements of your repurposed shipping container.
- The exterior climate will help determine how much heating or cooling needs to be supplied to the interior structure.
- The elements of snow, wind and rain should be taken into consideration when considering floor insulation and interior ceiling finish outs.
- The use of a steel repurposed shipping container is ideal due to its exterior strength and water and wind resistant structure. The amount of snow, rain and ice will be factors in insulation, ceiling structure and opening protections.
- The standard repurposed shipping container comes with cargo doors at one end. These doors swing open and hinge flat against the sidewalls.
- These doors may or may not be used and can be disabled.
- Additional openings such as personnel doors and roll up doors should be positioned to accommodate the cargo doors if they are enabled for use.
- Personnel door placement will need to be reviewed.
- Door handles and exterior facades can add inches to the overall dimensions and should be taken into consideration.
- These structures are moved via forklift operation and additional dimensions can affect those supports.

Casa Manifesto Recycled shipping container house Chile
Bioclimatic design, recycling, reuse, reduction of building materials; clean and renewable energy use. All these concepts converge in the Casa Manifesto - recycled shipping container house designed by James & Mau and built by Infiniski.
The structure consists of the three shipping containers, combined with other materials such as wood, recycled aluminum and others. The construction is based on a modular prefabricated design, which allows to limit transport costs and pollution on site. This system suggests the complete realization of the house design, integrating possible extensions - fast and consistent, in case the client's space needs will change over time.
Design: James & Mau, Infiniski
Area: 160 m2
Year: 2009
Execution Time: 90 days
Total Cost: 79.000 €
Location: Curacavi, Chile
Photography: Antonio Corcuera
In this case, the result is an inner area 160 m2 divided into two floors. The ground floor is occupied by a large common area, which includes living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and terraces. The master bedroom with bath, living room, two rooms with shared bathrooms and terraces form the area of the second floor.
Its location, on top of a hill dominating the landscape, generating a permeability in its east-west axis. Through a large glass area, the sensation of being in the most social area of the house is to be under a big bridge in the middle of nowhere.
The house is spread around this great common space with volumes much more closed in the north-south axis. At the same time intentionally, the construction system of the house is covered with skin, playing through its horizontal elements, generates a wealth of light and shade that helps to dematerialize the volumes. The house, with its materials, it becomes a living architectural object.
The shape of the house itself responds to a bioclimatic design to suit the climat conditions of the place. So, the house "dresses" in summer and "undressing" winter sun through facades and roof skin. To achieve this architects used two types of skin: one based on fixed horizontal wood slats and other mobile pallet, which can be opened individually to control solar radiation. It also serves as ingenious aesthetic finish to help integrate it into its rural surroundings.
The inner enclosure is formed by recycled cellulose insulation projected onto the sheet inside the container and ecological finished panels of gypsum and cellulose fiber. With these elements of passive thermal insulation, and the incorporation of alternative energy technology (solar thermal panels) the recycled shipping container house achieves 70% energy independence.
