SHIPPING CONTAINER TINY HOME, Exterior
Project type
Architectural Design & Construction
Date
Summer 2022
Location
Vieques, Puerto Rico
Three weeks were spent on transforming a shipping container to a tiny home. On the outside of the container, a cast-in-place concrete porch and steps were framed and poured, space for a door was cut and a metal door welded to the container, and the container was pressure washed and painted. A wall with windows was also framed and finished at one end of the container. The original shipping container doors were maintained to allow for protection in case of hurricanes. Although not yet complete, metal posts were placed in the concrete porch to allow railing and shading to be added in the future.
