Shipping container cabin in Sri Lanka

Shipping container cabin in Sri Lanka

The Shipping Container Cabin was constructed in about a month without skilled construction labour under the architect’s instruction.

The Architect considered all the natural and man made elements already available in the setting and advised the owner to find the reclaimed material to be used in the project. Materials used included timber strips from old bunkers and weapon boxes, and used railway sleepers. The overall intent of the designer was to create a relaxing and enjoyable space by using already available resources and the surrounding environment.

  1. Nicely done. Good to know that shipping containers can be used in so many different ways.
