Shipping Containers: A Creative Solution for Artist Studios
Dreaming of Your Own Art Studio?
Is your creativity bursting at the seams but your space can't keep up with your creations? If you’ve ever wished for a dedicated studio to bring your artistic visions to life, but your current home doesn’t have the room you need, a shipping container might be the perfect solution you’ve been looking for!
Shipping Containers as Art Studios
Although a shipping container may not have even crossed your mind when envisioning your dedicated creative environment, it can actually be a unique and affordable solution. Shipping containers, sometimes called storage containers, are fully customizable and can be converted into stand-alone buildings, making them perfect for an artist's studio or workshop. Depending on your preference, the container can be placed on land near your home or elsewhere.

Modifying A Shipping Container into an Art Studio
Depending on the size of your property and how much space you need, containers come in 20' and 40' long, 8' wide. They can insulated to create a comfortable environment and modified with windows to allow natural light, added electricity, custom doors for easy access and anything else that helps you be more creative.
With a shipping container artist studio, you can get your supplies out of your everyday living and into a space devoted just to your art. No more packing them up and trying to get them out of the way, but rather leave projects out so you can come back to them again easily. By putting your creative energies into action, you can plan and create the perfect container studio for you.
Depending on how much of a do-it-yourselfer you are, you can either pay to have a container modified to meet your needs or order a container and kits to modify it yourself.
Some common container modifications include:
- personnel door
- roll-up door
- windows
- skylights
- AC/heat
- insulation
Everything from doors, windows, AC can be DIY or done for you and even built-in work desks. If you decide to do the modifications yourself, you will need to have the skills and tools to weld. With the help of an electrician (or possibly some DIY YouTube videos!), you can install lighting to brighten up your container studio. You can also find many creative lighting solutions that do not require electrical work.
There is no need to feel overwhelmed; many container modifications are completely DIY, and if you prefer to hire someone to do the work for you, we can help. Feel free to reach out to our container experts at Super Cubes for advice or to inquire about our modification kits!
You can get a variety of doors to fit your type of projects. We even have flip-up/flip-down doors, as shown above, for those larger project that are easier to roll in and out of the container.
