Case Study of the Month

6th Nov, 2023

CS83701 - 30ft split office/store with living roof

This dual purpose container conversion was created for the Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre as an addition to their existing spaces to support the creative arts in their local community of Walton-on-Thames. Additional space was needed for the day-to-day running of the centre so we used a large 30ft container and partitioned it into two separate areas - one as office and one for storage.

We topped the building off with a roof structure to create a green roof that can accommodate a sedan or wildflower blanket that will grow over time to create a stunning eco-system that compliments the wood cladding added to the container.
