These renderings illustrate very early conceptual ideas for a temporary art gallery to be built in Dublin, Ireland using ocean going shipping containers.

O'Neil is attracted to the modernist modular quality of shipping containers or ISBU's (inter-modal steel building units) as they are referred to in the industry.

This simple 1,300 square foot home utilizes four 40 foot long containers in a two story staggered configuration, providing a covered porch off the dining area, on the rear of the house, and a balcony off of one of two second floor bedrooms.

The first realized project in Palm Beach County utilizing recycled shipping containers as the main building material.

Early conceptual drawings are shown with the realized final eco-retreat project below.
