Mark Paltridge, from the Sunshine Coast, Australia, (just north of me), asked me to design him a studio in a shipping container.

Studio Web Site

He had purchased a freezer version that is lined with stainless steel and polyfoam style insulation, great for heat, useless for sound. It has two ports at the rear for the freezer fans access.

Interior Dimensions
2.3 wide 7' 6"
5.7m long 18'.9"
2.12 high. 7' 0"

This is the plan we came up with which gives a small booth and a control room.

As you can see the floor is open sliders so produce and containers can be slid in easily to the back.

 

so we stuffed it with insulation, added a layer of rubber, and laid two sheets of particle board flooring sheets that have a tongue and groove join.

The framing was then built on this floor as an inside/out wall and we used the original ports on the back of the container for our ducting access with send one side and return through the other. You can also see the ceiling beams that will support the inside/out ceiling panels.

The aircon unit was mounted on the rear of the Container as was the power panel. With the addition of interior fitting out we came up with this - the pink is Mark's idea :):)
