It’s all in the details…

At MOD³ DESIGN, we take extreme pride in the craftsmanship and quality of our product. You’ll find that each of our units is outfitted with materials and finishes that are modern, unique, luxurious, and among the best quality that you can find.

With our first build, theCHELSEA //ABODE³, we took liberties and pushed ourselves beyond our comfort zone to prove just what could be done with shipping container architecture. This 320sf studio unit is fully customized with unique touches such as sleek matte black kitchen cabinets, handmade encaustic tile in the huge walk-in shower, lime-washed plaster walls, and wood furnishings that have been finished in the ‘Shou Sugi Ban’ ancient Japanese technique.
