I have a single 20-foot shipping container and a 10 m × 10 m plot that I want to transform into a small, modern-looking coffee stop. All service happens at the front counter—no indoor seating—so the exterior layout, flow, and shading are everything. Here’s the vision: • Style: clean, Modern lines. • Service zone: the front façade will be partially cut open to house a bar-height counter with the cashier, espresso machine, grinder, and a refrigerated cake/sandwich display. • Heat management: summers get extremely hot, so an elegant yet practical shading solution is critical. I’m open to fixed, retractable, pergola, or any hybrid you feel best matches the modern aesthetic and local climate. • Guest area: only a compact outdoor seating pocket fits on site, so I need you to position a handful of tables or a standing rail without choking circulation. • Utilities: no on-site cooking, just coffee equipment and small refrigeration, so plan for power, water, and drainage hookups only where essential. What I’d like handed over: 1. Concept sketches and 3D renders that clearly show the container façade, shade structure, and seating layout. 2. Scaled plan and elevation drawings (PDF + source files) covering container modifications, equipment placement, and all external works. 3. A concise material and finishes palette that achieves the modern look while remaining realistic for fabrication—feel free to propose wood, metal, composite, or a mix. 4. Basic technical notes for contractors: opening dimensions, structural reinforcements, shade fixings, lighting points, and MEP stubs. If you’ve worked with container architecture, small cafés, or hot-climate shading, I’d love to see relevant samples. Let me know your proposed timeline and how many design iterations you include.
