Container Studio by Maziar Behrooz Architecture
Another design from container was made by Maziar Behrooz Architecture. This is an art studio, built near their client’s house.
The design is very simple, using two 9’-6” x 40’ x 8’ shipping containers. The space required is about 700 sq m. They are perched over a 9’ foundation wall/cellar. By cutting 75% of the floor of the containers, they were able to move the 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 level provides a more intimate work area and a sitting area.
Dark charcoal paint was chosen to maintain continuity with the original house and to recede in the shadows of a dense wooded site.
