2000–2001
Somewhere between a lunar lander and a manufactured home, a toy box and a job trailer, the Workbox is a functional home away from home for the Rice Building workshop. This project anticipated our need for mobility and convenience during the on-site construction process. The workbox utilizes a modified freight container to create a two-part workshop and a secure storage unit that has been outfitted with metal and woodworking tools. The workbox is easily transported to virtually any site. Once it is on-site, the Workbox’s two large doors open to become work platforms and reveal a fully equipped workshop that is ready for use.
