ABOUT US

Creative Containers is based in Cornwall, and specialises in transforming shipping containers into functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces.  

We cut out the middleman so you can work directly with the manufacturers, saving time and money. Our dedicated team of experienced designers are here to bring your vision to life — even if you don’t have one yet. From planning and design to fabrication and finishing touches, we handle every step in-house to deliver fully customised, high-quality solutions that work for you.

Whether you need a bespoke workspace, secure storage, or a fully designed and customised enclosure, we turn standard shipping containers into smart, functional spaces built to your exact needs. With full control over the process, we ensure quality craftsmanship, fast turnaround times, and complete flexibility.

No project is too big or small — if you can imagine it, we can build it.

    Private

    A private container conversion involves transforming a shipping container into a customised, self-contained space for personal or exclusive use. This could include turning it into an off-grid home, office, studio, or retreat, with tailored features like insulation, plumbing, electrical systems, and secure access. Unlike public or commercial conversions, private containers prioritise privacy, comfort, and individual needs.

    commercial

    A commercial container conversion repurposes shipping containers into functional spaces for business use, such as pop-up shops, cafes, offices, or kiosks. These conversions focus on visibility, branding, and customer accessibility, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for dynamic commercial needs.

    Bespoke

    A bespoke container conversion is a fully tailored ground-up built solution designed to meet unique client needs, where size is no limitation, combining custom design with specialised functionality. This can include advanced features such as hydrogen enclosures, making the enclosures suitable for energy storage, fuel cell technology, or research applications, while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
