The rooms will be rented out to users who will benefit from the venue being located in the city\u2019s public transport history museum. <\/p>\n<p>The shipping containers will be something of a blank canvas for the people working in them with little in the way of alterations. The units will be available to rent temporarily and even by the hour in some cases. <\/p>\n<p>Plans for the next phase of building are already underway and include proposals for a stage for concerts and a theatre <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An artist studio space made from shipping containers is currently under construction in Lisbon and it appears to be firing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[112,114,115,132],"class_list":["post-141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shipping-containers","tag-jpc","tag-jpc-blog","tag-jpc-containers","tag-shipping-containers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
