Harry McDonough Sailing Center

For the following project, DRT was tasked with designing a versatile, removable multi-purpose space. To meet the project’s requirements, we utilized shipping containers as a lightweight and adaptable building solution.

During the day, the space accommodates children’s activities such as classrooms and play areas. At night, it transforms into an entertaining venue, generating funds for the project through community events and fundraisers.

This innovative design ensures flexibility, easy relocation, and a positive impact on the community. By combining practicality, versatility, and community engagement, we aim to create a space that enriches children’s lives and fosters community connections.
