STATEMENT AND HISTORY
Atelierworkshop believe up-cycling containers can be an effective answer for
large scale projects and if portability, site access, robustness, security are
issues. The Port-a-Bach prototype was built in Hangzhou, China and shipped to
New Zealand. It is now part of the permanent collection of Puke Ariki Museum,
New Plymouth. We have also developed prototypes of fittings that use the
existing container connections to attached solar and wind equipment.
Atelierworkshop's Port-a-Bach is not in production and require appropriate
commercial partners in order to mass produce it and its derivatives.
