Old Shipping Container Converted into New Executive Office

In need of a more executive workspace I bought an old rusting shipping container and, with the help of my team and friends, restored, refurbed and converted it into a high end office with ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and boardroom.

Imagine how impressed you would be stepping into Daniels office for the first time on business. From the muck of the yard into a super slick, surgical environment rivalling the best offices in the city. The deal would be closed before anyone sat down! The office is impressive, we’ve come accustomed to that from Daniel and his team but what’s more impressive for me is this video, super slick on point editing. We finally have Goonzsquad style UK videos, except that Ashville are proper professional. I really enjoyed this video from so many angles, really happy for Daniel, looking forward to bigger and better projects and videos.

[@HenryLoenwind]

Have you considered doing office container refurbishments to eliminate downtime of your workforce and eat up leftovers from the normal jobs? Also, when applying dark wallpaper, put down a single coat of a matching dark color in the seam areas first. Costs next to nothing and eliminates the unsightly white lines.
