This week we spent some time working on our color scheme for the interior and exterior of the container. Below are the final colors for the project, which are pretty high on the scale of awesomeness. We will be sealing the plywood this weekend and working on finalizing the interior details. We will be using a no VOC paint on the interior to minimize the potentially harmful fumes resulting from off-gassing. We are also planning on using a ceramic additive manufactured by Insuladd on the exterior. This will reduce the heat gain on the steel exterior by as much as 40% and in turn lower the energy costs for cooling and heating the unit. These small decisions add up and help to make our project more sustainable. The finished product is around the corner...
A new rendering with the proposed color scheme. Just threw this together a short while ago.
We are a design-build company focusing on the use and re-use of shipping containers as a building element. Applying "Green" building techniques and recycling the widely available container as a building block, we want to inform and inspire the use of shipping containers as housing, cabins, backyard studios, guest houses, etc. etc.
