Jamaica Architectural Office Constructed From Shipping Container-Architects Chris Whyms-Stone and David Douglas who own the firm of Cornerstone Architects in Kingston, Jamaica. They first began
designing shipping container architecture in 2002. (photo below)
Jamaica is where Professor Richard Martin, founder of Global Peace Containers built his first prototype school project in 2000. He has
been an obvious inspiration on visionary architects such as the Cornerstone partners, both in Jamaica and globally.

This Jamaica office is built from a single 40GP ISBU cargo container and is the
office of the same architects who designed and built the cargo container office.
It was designed by architects Chris Whyms-Stone and David Douglas who own
the firm of Cornerstone Architects in Kingston, Jamaica. This is not only their
design but also their new office. It sits on an elevation which adds even more to
it's unique appearance.
With real estate prices soaring this was their plan dating as far back as 2002.
They have other shipping container designs including a car dealership, however
there is an extreme shortage of shipping containers in Jamaica. Eventhough there
is a demand and great interest in shipping container designs in Jamaica, the ISBU
shortage has halted construction.
