I think I would have put the ladder and gate off to one side rather than in the middle. The way it is now, it looks like you'll be walking directly into your OTA as you ascend the ladder.

flolinmod, I originally planned to have the ladder off to one side however I ended up placing it in the centre because it would be in-line with the pier rising through the floor. I'm planning to design slide out storage or a slide out bed in the section below the raised floor, so either side of the pier needed to be clear. I'm not too concerned about bumping into the OTA. I will be able to climb up either side of it without too many problems but as you say, I guess only time will tell if I got it wrong

I especially like the Anti-Gravity system that is holding up the Obs room in the third pic. Seeing it float off the floor like that is quite astonishing....

Chris, I like it as well
. I was initially a bit skeptical that it would work but after taking a good look at it, it's as solid as a rock.

Matt, your profile needs updating. It still has you at WPH.

Andrew, thanks for letting me know. I took a look in my profile and couldn't find any mention of WPH so I guess you were referring to my lat & long co-ords which I have now updated.
Hi Stew, it's surprising what's being done with shipping containers now. I have heard of them being lined with a thick rubber bladder and used as underground water tanks. I had originally wanted to paint the whole thing white but it's an argument with "the approver" that I lost. It's going be be cottage green instead.
The whole unit will sit on cement piers with plenty of air space below so I could also place some form of ventilation slots in the floor.
An small AC unit is certainly an option if all else fails but I have a few more ideas to try (fan forced vents, etc) before I go down that track.
