Job ID: 38210083

Budget: $250 – $750 AUD

I'm looking to build a replica of the shipping container house from the movie "Tron Legacy" and I want somebody to assist with the structural elements. If you google "Tron shipping container house" or similar you will see the product. In essence, it is two 20 foot containers spaced about 5-6 meters apart with three 40 foot containers across the top. The elements that need specific consideration is that the three 40 foot containers extend over the footprint of the 20 foot containers, so the corner castings do not provide support. In addition, large sections of floor on the 40 foot containers have been removed, as have the roof, replaced with a flat, singlespan roof supported on the edge of the shipping containers. I need somebody who is able to confidently design appropriate steel reinforcing to make the structure buildable - obviously this house was prepared for a movie set, so it is possible some elements of it are not achievable, in which case we would need to work collaboratively to ascertain work-arounds.

If you have a look at the following site, somebody has prepared a 3D model of the house which should the challenges in respect of the removal a substantial flooring and roofing of the 40 foot contains:
