Nest Architects are a Melbourne based architecture and design practice and the minds behind this bright and resourceful shipping container conversion.
So, what is it?
“The Gorman Ship-Shop is exactly what it’s called. A shop that can be shipped, moved or planted anywhere there’s space…”
Designed for client Lisa Gorman of Gorman Industries this amazingly portable design uses basic design principles of functionality to create a unique space. By adopting the simple structure of the container and staying true to its original purpose (shipping..) the appropriately named shipshop acts as a constantly
moving exhibit –
“Sometimes the simple little projects are the most involved … and the most rewarding.”
“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.”

I like the idea of a movable functional building. There used to be a bar (there might still be?) that was inside a container in melbourne. Same people? I don’t know.
There was a while ago a story about creating temporary accom. for large events by using an almost lego-like snap together system. Where each room was built within something like a shipping container and then the “hotel” I suppose could be easily built in any spot that it needed to be. Each individual cell was self contained (lol) and could be easily transported.
This is almost another version of that only with a shop instead of a hotel. You could almost use the two in tandem? Olympics comes to town…BANG…instant hotel, instant shopping district. Olympics is gone, no mess, no business vacuum when all the shops/hotels that were built for the event suddenly find themselves without customers.

Incredibly entertaining elements you’ll have mentioned, thanks for putting up.
I think that everything posted was very logical. But, think on this, suppose you were to create a killer title? I am not saying your content is not solid., but suppose you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda plain. You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news titles to get people to click. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.|

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
