Residential Shipping Container Primer (RSCP™)

The Fawood Children’s Center provides, under one roof, a nursery for 3-5 year olds, nursery facilities for autistic and special needs children, and a Children’s Center with adult learning services.

The primary structure is a trapezoid shed enclosure, which takes the form of a steel portal frame structure with a deep overhanging roof, formed of a mix of opal polycarbonate roof cladding and bright pink powder-coated profiled steel cladding, on galvanized steel purlins and portal frame.

The Nomadic Museum is a, well, nomadic museum, one that can be easily taken apart and rebuilt in different places. The walls on the building are created from stacked and staggered shipping containers, with paper tube columns and a fabric ceiling.  Despite its size, tt is a piece of mobile architecture which is easily assembled and disassembled and then shipped (contents included) in the same shipping containers that make up the walls.

The site for Oslo’s newest Art Gallery GAD, is exceptional. GAD stands all alone at the tip of the pier at Tjuvholmen, surrounded by all the activities that have to take place when a new part of town with 1.200 dwellings, a huge amount of offices and a great deal of shops is going to be built. These containers haven’t appeared on a wrong site and are not out of track, but they are exactly where they suppose to be.
