Nest Architects – Gorman Shipshop


gorman_01.jpg

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…”

_jlm5157.jpg

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.”
