架构师提供的文本描述。在2016年冬天完工，这个改装的集装箱是我们的新办公室。这种做法是在2005年形成的，目的是把重点放在小型、精心设计的建筑上。在我的家庭办公室和一名工作人员一起工作多年之后，我们决定扩大这项工作。

Text description provided by the architects. Completed in the winter of 2016, this modified shipping container is our new office. The practice was formed in 2005 to focus on small, well-crafted buildings. After working in my home office with one staff member for many years, we decided to expand the practice (a little).

生活方式对我和我的妻子来说很重要，所以决定扩大到后院，而不是一个遥远的商业空间。其目标是在家里工作的好处，同时为工作人员提供一个独立的空间，一个与客户和承包商举行会议的地方，而且只是有更多的空间来做我们的工作。自给自足的建筑包括一个小厨房、洗手间、打印机/网络机柜和一个开放的演播室空间。小型会议空间可以通过多种方式配置，并且该表可以连接到桌面进行模型制作。

Lifestyle is important to me and my wife, so the decision was made to expand to the back yard rather than to a remote commercial space. The goal was to have the benefits of working from home, while having an independent space for staff, a place to conduct meetings with clients and contractors, and to simply have more room to do our work. The self sufficient building contains a kitchenette, washroom, printer / network cabinet and an open studio space. The small meeting space can be configured in a number of ways, and the table can join the desk for model making.

我们研究了几个建筑方案，并确定了一个超大的钢制集装箱。这些集装箱是为采矿作业设计的，长40‘，宽11.5’，高9.5‘。钢壳固有的耐久性，以及当我们重新安置的时候，我们能够带着这个结构，这是最大的好处之一。

We looked at several construction options and settled on an over-sized corten steel shipping container. These containers were designed for mining operations and are 40’ long, 11.5’ wide, and 9.5’ high. The inherent durability of the steel shell, and the ability to for us to take the structure with us when / if we relocate were two of the biggest benefits.

350平方英尺。在它的新地基上建造悬臂，并把所有的服务从1930年的旧房子，共享的财产。水、卫生、电力和数据从房屋挖到建筑物的底部。集装箱在供货商工厂安装完毕，95%到达现场，

The 350 sq.ft. building cantilevers over its new foundation, and pulls all the services from the old 1930’s house that shares the property. Water, sanitary, power, and data were trenched from the house to the base of the building. The container was fitted out in the supplier’s factory, and arrived on site 95% complete,

黄色的雪松覆层是一个城市的要求(所有运输集装箱必须包覆)。窗户和门也是黄色的雪松，他们将留给天气的灰色帕蒂纳。经过一个冬天，钢楼梯已经生锈了一层。内部内衬桦木胶合板传递温暖，道格拉斯杉木办公桌清晰跨越19‘给我们一个非常灵活的工作空间。

The yellow cedar cladding was a city requirement (all shipping containers must be clad). The window and door are also yellow cedar, and they’ll be left to weather to a grey patina. The steel stair has already taken on a full layer of rust after one winter. The interior is lined in birch plywood to impart warmth, and the Douglas Fir desk clear spans 19’ giving us a very flexible working space.
