Gorman Ship Shop
_portable shopcompleted: 2008
location: Anywhere
size: 20ft shipping container
Lisa Gorman asked me if we could convert a shipping container into a shop. Being in love with these simple steel modular boxes (like most architects) we said “sure ... why not.”
The resulting shipping shop took the combined efforts of two architects, a carpenter and his apprentices, a steel fabricator, two transport companies, a sustainability consultant, the entire Gorman office and many others.
