building with shipping containers
#38
I don't think our views on this are necessarily at odds. If you provide sufficient reinforcement or support along the bottom where the forklift would support the container, then you could conceivably cut out a fair amount but if you want the container to perform as originally designed, loaded with 50,000 lb of cargo, supported at the ends, with a safety factor, then you have to either not cut it or really know what you are doing when reinforcing it.

The surf shack appears to rely only on the original doors for access, light, and ventilation. I didn't see any windows in the sides. It looks like a great design based on the original attributes of the container.
