Container Studio in Amagansett, NY
El cliente, un artista y DJ, necesitaba un estudio de arte próximo a su casa (que habíamos renovado en 2008). Sus requisitos eran: un espacio de unos 700 pies cuadrados, un presupuesto limitado, y una estructura simple receptiva y a la vez reflexiva. Nuestra solución fue utilizar dos contenedores de 9'-6 "x 40" x 8 ' (con un costo: $ 2.500 cada uno) apoyados sobre una fundación de 9'.

The client, an artist and a DJ, needed an art studio close to her house (which we renovated in 2008). Her requirements were for a space of about 700 sf and a limited budget; and for a simple structure that would be both inviting and reflective.
Our solution was to use two 9’-6” x 40’ x 8’ shipping containers (cost: $2,500 each, delivered) perched over a 9’ foundation wall/cellar. By cutting 75% of the floor of the containers, we were able to move the painting studio to a lower level via a wide staircase and take advantage of a high ceiling.
The staircase itself acts as a transitional space for viewing art work. The upper floor provides a more intimate work area and a sitting area.
The containers were painted dark charcoal to maintain continuity with the original house and to recede in the shadows of a dense wooded site.
