architecture101 - Portable Studio

WORK IN PROGRESS (as of 26th July)
This project is my first proper attempt at designing architecture. For years I have used inspiration from buildings and architecutre to help develop the aesthetics of my product design work. Now having graduated from design school, I am taking the oppertunity to spend some of my free time learning more about architecture and it's key principles, and combined with my product design skills, start designing my very own buildings!
THE BRIEF:
 
Design a portable studio with study, bedroom and a bathroom. 
It must have a maximum of 8m^2 footprint.
There are no height restrictions. 
Initial sketches and thought process behind the use of stackable 10' shipping containers to achieve a studio space with suitable living space while remaining within the 8m^2 footprint.
Work in progress CAD mock up of the design, showing the direction of the aesthetic profile for the project. It is missing key details like the spiral staircase for access at the rear, but the render overall shows off good intial intentions.
Details are developing as the CAD is built up, including the addition of a garden/terrace on the roof.
Access and rails yet to be added.
