Studio 320 is a creative and compact design that demonstrates the versatility of shipping container architecture in both functional and aesthetic terms. Designed by Hybrid Architecture and built by Hybrid Assembly, this project in Enumclaw, Washington, serves as a studio space while showcasing how containers can be repurposed into a high-quality and sustainable building.
Build Method
The design of Studio 320 features the use of a single High Cube ISO shipping container, creating an efficient and streamlined structure that maximises the use of space. The container is modified with large windows and sliding doors, allowing natural light to flood the interior and providing a visual connection with the surrounding environment.
The simple, yet thoughtful design embraces the industrial characteristics of the container while adding modern touches such as wood paneling and minimalist finishes. The interior layout is open and flexible, allowing it to adapt to various uses, from an artist’s studio to a small office or even a guesthouse. The compact design also includes sustainable features such as energy-efficient insulation and ventilation systems.
Interbode Thoughts
Studio 320 is an excellent example of how a single shipping container can be transformed into a functional and stylish living or working space.

The thoughtful integration of modern materials and energy-efficient systems ensures that Studio 320 is both practical and sustainable, making it a standout example of cargotecture for creative uses.
