WORKSPACE:
Container City Two

Container City Two is perhaps the most ambitious ContainerSpace project to date. The riverside site is a sensitive and complex one, dominated by the Listed 'Lighthouse' building in which Michael Faraday carried out his experiments in navigational light optics.

The brief demanded some 30 self-contained workspaces. Roadways were required to pass under some parts of the building to service other users on the site. The ContainerSpace building rises to a maximum of five stories, stepping down in places both in response to its neighbours and in order to provide generous terraces and balconies. Colonnades accommodate the roadways below. A wide variety of workspaces is offered varying from 20 sq m to 100 sq m and each enjoys one or more balconies some with magnificent river views.

Lift as well as staircase access is provided to the studios, each housed in a vertically placed shipping container.
