A Durable and Portable Shipping Container Leasing Office
To create an inviting space, a 40-foot shipping container was modified to include three sliding glass doors, welcoming natural light into the space. The doors were strategically placed to ensure both sides of the container could be customer-facing in the event the structure would be turned to reach utility connections at future sites, helping it fit into whatever space was available. A single stall bathroom was built into the end of the container and a kitchenette was added against the wall to provide guests with necessary amenities while still providing room for potential renters to discuss their new homes. These modifications couldn’t be achieved with another portable structure. Their choice to work with Falcon Structures, and purchase a modified shipping container, gave them aesthetic control over the office. ECI Group decided to wrap the structure in a branded vinyl cover that could be changed or removed as the structure relocates. The container structure also helped prioritize durability and portability. Relocating the office is made easy thanks to the inherent portability of shipping containers which easily fit onto the bed of a truck, making transportation hassle free. As an added bonus, a shipping container provides a unique introduction to potential residents that they are unlikely to forget.
