This new facility proudly celebrates the former nature of the previous containers occupying the site. It reflects in a raw but composed manner the function within, whilst providing a rhythmic and deliberate edge to the motorway adjacent. Against that motorway setting it is a striking building. The open-ended boxes allow a glimpse of occupation from each end. The honest use of materials has continued throughout, with the layering of the container forms above the shed allowing views from above and below. This is a direct but very clever response to a very specific brief with a tight budget.
