Australian practice Room 11 has completed the Melbourne headquarters of Royal Wolf – a specialist in the hire, sale and modification of new and refurbished shipping containers. Appropriately, the workplace is built entirely from the steel units, utilizing the fabrication and construction methods employed by the organization. 20ft and 40ft containers are positioned to create four courtyards, forming a complete rectangle.
