Shipping Container Projects

Atelier 7 gives a second life to retired maritime shipping containers, thus reducing waste.

We recycle the steel structures and reuse them for various types of buildings. In combination with our minimalist designs and religious use of recycled products, this is how we make our contribution to protecting the environment.

We design beautiful buildings that are good for their occupants, good for their neighborhoods and good for the environment.Anthony Pope, Atelier7 Principal

The process of building a sea container home with us.

Pre-Design

This is an information gathering and processing phase. Before we start to design, we collect all the information about the project to use in developing the design. We will work together to identify project goals, program, site constraints, opportunities and develop the project roadmap. This includes information about the site, any existing structure(s), codes, deed restrictions, site utilities, access, budget, schedule, and spatial program.

Ideas, Exploration, Reality

This is where the rough shape of the building and the ideas are formed. We begin by drafting a narrative for the project, called a ‘parti’, which we’ll reference throughout the project. This seed idea is used to help us make decisions as the project becomes more detailed and better defined. It’s a rulebook of sorts.  Conceptual estimates and duration timelines are also developed, along with fabricator and contractor sources.

The Instruction Manual

This phase fixes all of the information about the house into a detailed set of drawings and specifications that will be used by the Contractor and/or Fabricator for pricing and construction. Think of it as an instruction manual. Before beginning, we’ll discuss whether you’d like to pursue a bid price contract or a negotiated contract; field or factory fabrication and we’ll craft the drawings and level of detail in those drawings based on those decisions.

Getting It Built

After the contract is awarded and construction begins, we act as your agent on-site, monitor progress, review applications for payment, and ensure conformance with the contract documents. We don’t tell the contractor how to do his work; We just make sure he’s doing the things he’s contractually promised to do. Upon substantial completion of construction, we will review the work with you and verify any work to be completed or corrected by the contractor before final payment.
