The 20ft x 8ft Custom Shipping Container Conversion is a modern, fully customizable portable
building solution designed to adapt to a wide range of commercial and residential applications. Whether you
need a retail kiosk, pop-up shop, site office, garden studio, or modular living unit, this conversion provides
exceptional flexibility, durability, and design freedom in a compact footprint.
Built from a premium-grade steel shipping container, this model highlights the true potential of container
architecture. Every build is made to order, allowing you to “shop your spec” and tailor the layout, access,
finishes, and utilities to match your exact purpose, budget, and visual preferences.
High-Quality Base Container Options
Each conversion starts with a structurally sound 20ft x 8ft steel shipping container,
available in either a standard height (8ft 6in) or a high cube option (9ft 6in). The high cube version offers
additional internal headroom, making it ideal for customer-facing spaces, offices, or conversions requiring
extra insulation, lighting, or ceiling services.
Manufactured from COR-TEN anti-corrosive steel, the container shell is engineered for long-term
durability, resistance to harsh weather conditions, and secure use in both permanent and relocatable
installations.
Modern Exterior Finish & Secure Access
The example shown features a full external respray in Anthracite Grey, delivering a clean,
contemporary aesthetic that suits both professional and residential environments. The interior is resprayed
in white to maximize brightness and create a clean, open feel. Chrome container handles provide a refined,
high-end finishing touch.
Access is designed for practicality and visual impact. A manual steel roller shutter door
(2000 × 1000 mm) offers secure shopfront-style entry, complete with bullet locks for enhanced security.
In addition, double-glazed Anthracite Grey French doors (2000 × 2200 mm) create a welcoming
main entrance while allowing excellent natural light.
Windows, Glazing & Natural Light
To create a bright and usable interior, the unit incorporates a
large fixed double-glazed window panel (2100 × 2200 mm), ideal for retail displays or office
environments. A secondary high-line opening window (1800 × 400 mm) provides controlled
ventilation without sacrificing wall space or security.
Interior Construction & Comfort
Inside, the container features an insulated floating floor system, improving thermal
performance and underfoot comfort while providing a solid base for a wide variety of flooring finishes.
Wall linings, ceilings, electrical systems, and layout configurations are fully customizable, allowing the
space to range from a simple insulated shell to a fully serviced turnkey unit.
