The 20ft x 8ft Custom Shipping Container Conversion is a highly versatile, fully customizable
portable building solution designed to adapt to your exact needs. Whether you are planning a retail kiosk,
pop-up shop, site office, garden studio, or modular living space, this conversion offers the flexibility,
durability, and modern appearance required for today’s commercial and residential applications.
Built from a premium-grade steel shipping container, this model demonstrates the true potential of container
architecture. You can “shop your spec” and tailor every aspect of the build—from layout and access points to
finishes and utilities—ensuring the final unit perfectly aligns with your purpose, budget, and brand identity.
Premium Base Container Options
Each conversion begins with a high-quality steel container, available in either a
standard height (8ft 6in) or a high cube configuration (9ft 6in).
The high cube option provides increased internal headroom, making it ideal for customer-facing spaces,
offices, or conversions requiring additional insulation and ceiling services.
Constructed from COR-TEN anti-corrosive steel, the container shell is engineered for long-term
structural integrity, resistance to harsh weather, and secure use in both permanent and relocatable settings.
Modern Exterior Finish & Professional Access
The example shown features a full external respray in Anthracite Grey, delivering a sleek,
contemporary aesthetic suitable for retail, commercial, or residential environments. Chrome container
handles add a refined finishing touch, while the internal respray in white enhances brightness and creates
a clean, welcoming interior.
Entry and access are designed for both functionality and visual impact. A
manual steel roller shutter door (2000 × 1000 mm) provides secure shopfront-style access,
complete with bullet locks for peace of mind. In addition, the unit includes
double-glazed French doors (2000 × 2200 mm), powder-coated in Anthracite Grey, offering a
stylish main entrance with excellent natural light.
Windows & Natural Light
To create a bright and usable interior environment, the container incorporates a
large fixed double-glazed window panel (2100 × 2200 mm), ideal for retail displays or office
workspaces. A secondary high-line opening window (1800 × 400 mm) allows controlled
ventilation without compromising security or wall space.
Interior Construction & Comfort
Internally, this conversion includes an insulated floating floor system, improving thermal
comfort while providing a solid base for a wide range of floor finishes. Walls, ceilings, flooring, and
electrical systems are fully customizable, allowing you to create anything from a minimalist shell to a
turnkey, fully serviced interior.
