Before: a rust-red 40ft container placed on a stone plinth, no openings yet

After: the same container with windows, a door and a new pitched roof

What went into it

Window and door openings cut and framed
Pitched roof reduces heat gain and sheds rain
Raised plinth keeps the floor dry
Retains original corten-red finish
