- Integrated Project Delivery: How Guesscreative Designs and Develops Modular Structures & Custom Business Trailers
The demand for adaptable, sustainable spaces is soaring—think luxury mobile showrooms, expandable homes, or pop-up classrooms. At Guesscreative, we’re meeting this challenge head-on, crafting modular structures and custom business trailers that don’t just meet needs but redefine possibilities. Our secret? Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)—a collaborative method that turns complex projects into seamless successes. Picture an orchestra where every player syncs up from the first note; that’s how we bring your vision to life, efficiently and elegantly. Here’s how we do it. What is Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)? Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a collaborative project delivery model that unites all key stakeholders—designers, engineers, fabricators, and clients—from the outset. Unlike traditional methods that operate in isolated phases, IPD fosters teamwork, transparency, and efficiency , ensuring that projects are executed on time, within budget, and with minimal waste. Why IPD Works for Modular Construction: Unified Vision from the Start – Prefabricated construction requires significant planning. IPD eliminates miscommunication and costly revisions. Efficiency & Waste Reduction – Streamlines material use and optimizes fabrication. Real-Time Problem Solving – Engineering and construction teams collaborate early to refine designs. Customization Without Compromise – Clients receive tailored solutions without inflated costs or delays. At Guesscreative , IPD is at the core of our design philosophy, ensuring that each modular structure and business trailer is a high-performance, brand-defining asset . How Guesscreative Uses IPD to Deliver High-Performance Modular Spaces 1. Vision Alignment: Crafting a Clear Strategy Every project begins with a deep understanding of the client’s goals . Whether it’s a mobile retail hub, a high-end experiential trailer, or a modular CTE learning lab, we start by defining: Business objectives (luxury, scalability, mobility, brand recognition, tech innovation) Functional needs, uses and customer engagement strategies Brand identity, operational and budgetary constraints Trailer Procurement Example: For a high-end mobile retail unit, we determine how branding, customer flow, and logistical factors influence design. 2. Collaborative Design & Engineering Our designers, engineers, and fabricators work in tandem to create fully optimized, functional, and visually stunning solutions. We leverage: 3D modeling & renderings to visualize structure and layout VR simulations for immersive previews and interactive feedback Material and structural analysis for efficiency and durability Example: When developing the Mobile CTE Classroom Trailer , we used VR simulations to refine the extended area slide-out , ensuring a productive use of space and aesthetic appeal. 3. Precision Fabrication & Modular Assembly Rather than relying on traditional on-site construction, Guesscreative advocates for pre-building modular components in controlled environments . This approach ensures: Factory precision for high-quality, defect-free production Reduced material waste for cost and environmental efficiency Faster assembly for quick deployment and operational readiness 4. Seamless Deployment & Turnkey Handover Once fabrication is complete, our team manages logistics, delivery, and operational setup , ensuring clients can start using their new space immediately. Coordinated transportation and delivery On-site setup and quality control checks Client onboarding and operational training Example: A modular pop-up store can be transported, installed, and fully operational within hours , enabling brands to activate markets on demand. 5. Long-Term Performance & Adaptability Our modular solutions are designed to be scalable, adaptable, durable, and future-proof , ensuring long-term value for clients. Scalability – Modular units can expand or be repurposed as needs evolve. Durability – Premium materials and construction for longevity. Support & Upgrades – Maintenance, technology integration, and brand refresh options available. Example: Our custom business trailers provide a long-term, adaptable solution for mobile activations in industries like retail, education, and entertainment. Real-World Impact: Guesscreative’s Success Stories Expandable Touchdown Trailers – We work with Expandable Trailers to provide custom high quality, deployable movable space solutions designed for portability Setup time: 15 minutes. Custom Business Trailers – High-end mobile activations for NBA events, luxury brands, and experiential marketing campaigns.

- Case Study #2 Designer Creates a Unique Shipping Container Lounge for Vassé Rendezvous, an Outdoor Event Venue
Watch Instagram Recap Project: Vassé Rendezvous Scope of Work: Luxury Shipping Container Lounge for Outdoor Venue Location: Fort Worth, TX Lead Designer & Project Manager: Guesscreative LLC Container Fabricator: Bob's Containers Vassé Rendezvous is run by my mother, Demetrica Williams. This wonderful woman dreams of offering a place where people can come together to celebrate their unique experiences and enjoy the outdoors, whether for leisure, socializing, or business. She utilizes her beautiful 10 acre property in Fort Worth, Texas to rent out the space for intimate celebrations such as birthday parties, weddings, baby showers, family reunions, corporate picnics, etc. Demetrica desired a unique space to compliment the breathtaking property. She also needed an office space to be able to oversee these gatherings comfortably. Understanding her needs and budget, I began the process of developing a design to bring her vision to reality. I proposed to utilize a new / one Trip 40' High Cube (HC) Shipping Container to give her ample space. The dimensions of a standard HC shipping container is 8-0" W x 40'-0"L x 9'-6"H. That is 320 SF of floor area. The containers are strong, durable and fire resistant. They can be an efficient use of space when designed effectively. I needed to make sure that this project would be fabricated in a controlled factory setting by professionals, allowing for a better space. I knew that lounge space would be a valuable rentable asset for Vassé Rendezvous . I placed a 8' x 7' office on one end to maximize the long rectangular shape of the shipping container. The rest of the space will be maximized as the lounge area for those coming in from the hot sun or windy weather. The lounge area was strategically placed on the side of the shipping container double doors to give the flexibility of having an open space with 3 different door locations. This design decision gave passive ventilation and ample natural lighting. To add some flavor to the lounge, a rooftop deck with set of stairs welded onto the short end was added as well. The rooftop deck will add a layer of open air seating and an additional 320 SF to occupy which maximizes the amount of people that experience the lounge. Guesscreative executed the vision by designing the floor plans and elevations that gave the fabricators a clear concept of what is required for the project. Demetrica chose the paint colors she wanted, a deep chocolate exterior with beige interior, luxury vinyl tile flooring and ebony stained wood composite for the rooftop decking that also has cable wire railing. The windows and large 8' mirrored french doors have a bronze finish along with the beautiful sconces. The doors were very expensive. Lounge Floor Plan w/ MEPs: Lounge Section: Visual Renderings: Custom Shipping Container Lounge Structural Reinforcements: All openings were reinforced by 2x3 metal HSS framing. Exterior Wall Assembly: - Shipping Container Corrugated Metal - R-13 Sprayfoam Insulation - 2x4 Prime Whitewood Wood Studs - 1/2" Drywall There is also R-6.5 sprayfoam insulation in the floors & R-19 in the ceilings. The electrical panel is 150 Amps and the space will be heated / cooled by a 12,000 BTU Ductless Mini Split System with two blowers. I am grateful that the build came out successfully. We learned a lot during the process, particularly what to look for when building with certain fabricators. If you'd like to learn more or if you'd like to have structure designed and fabricated for you, please contact me.

- Case Study #3 Blueprints to Reality: Transforming Cerritos College with Innovative Shipping Container Design
Project: Scope of Work: Luxury Custom Shipping Container Facilities Storage Unit Location: Los Angeles, CA Lead Designer & Project Manager: Guesscreative LLC Structural Engineer: Urbatect Development LLC Container Fabricator: Linked Equipment Crane Services: Advanced Crane Guesscreative Tik Tok Embarking on a journey where ingenuity intersects with design, Guesscreative LLC was approached in December 2022 with an exhilarating opportunity. The task: to conceptualize, engineer, and bring to life a custom Facilities Storage Unit for Cerritos College in Los Angeles County. This project was not merely a contract; it is a gateway to our future in innovative design solutions and a testament to our commitment to flawless execution. Let us take you behind the scenes of this creative endeavor that wove together the threads of challenge and excitement, culminating in a unique space where form meets function with effortless grace. Our vision for Cerritos College was to craft a space that would not only serve its practical purpose but also become a hub of campus life. The initial blueprint featured a charming bagel shop, thoughtfully arranged within the embrace of two 20' High Cube Shipping Containers. These containers, placed a mere 8 feet apart, were united by a welcoming covered pergola. The intricacies of the design were carefully considered—while one container was poised to serve an array of bagels and refreshments, the other was to be a haven where students and faculty could convene for a moment of reprieve. Yet, true creativity flourishes within constraints . Our ability to adapt and innovate was put to the test when budgetary realities steered the project towards a more cost-effective design. The revised plan included one 20' and one 10' High Cube Shipping Container, both meticulously reimagined to not only meet the financial framework but also to maintain the essence of luxury and innovation that Guesscreative strives for. In transforming this vision into reality, ambiance was paramount. We curated details that would resonate with elegance and functionality : three majestic 72" exterior lighting fixtures to cast an inviting glow, an automatic serving window that promised efficiency with a touch of modernity, provisions for a TV that would enrich the dining experience, and a striking perforated screen that artistically concealed the essential utilities. Every element of this project was infused with our signature blend of design expertise and business acumen. From the grand concept to the nuts and bolts of engineering, Guesscreative delivered a space that embodies our ethos: exceptional design, seamless coordination, and a result that not only fulfills its intended purpose but also enhances the fabric of campus life. In reflection , the challenges we faced became invaluable lessons that reinforced our approach to business. Dealing with unforeseen delays and setting firm expectations has taught us the importance of flexibility, clear communication, and structured contingency planning. It's these experiences that allow us to refine our processes, ensuring that we not only meet but also anticipate the needs and potential obstacles of future projects. The journey from blueprints to reality was paved with moments of intense collaboration, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to our vision. The final product not only mirrors the initial concept but stands as a resilient structure that embodies the very spirit of Cerritos College – a place where functionality and aesthetic appeal coalesce to inspire. As we move forward , Guesscreative is poised to take on new challenges, transform spaces, and create designs that resonate with purpose and passion. We believe that our journey with Cerritos College is just the beginning of many more success stories to come. Join us as we turn visionary concepts into tangible experiences that not only meet the present demands but also shape the future of architectural design. Let us take you behind the scenes of this creative endeavor that wove together the threads of challenge and excitement, culminating in a unique space where form meets function with effortless grace. Whether you're an entrepreneur, corporate leader, business owner, or part of an institution, we invite you to experience the Guesscreative difference—where every project is a narrative of innovation and every design is a journey towards the extraordinary.

Whether it's a local artisan visualizing a distinctive retail experience, an established brand seeking to test new markets, or a developer reimagining retail as immersive adventure, traditional space often anchors these visions rather than amplifying them. At Guesscreative™, after leading $5M+ in modular and container-based residential, retail, and school design / build projects with KUBED LIVING , w e've stripped commercial space to its first principles: Space exists to serve customers , establish legitimacy , reflect your brand , provide essential services , and generate revenue. None of that requires a fixed address, it requires intentional design. This is why we've created Spatial Entrepreneurship™: architecture as freedom . Our movable spaces leverage the core principles of commercial utility while eliminating the constraints. They deliver the adaptability modern businesses demand, the access your customers expect, the trust your brand requires, and the cost-efficiency your growth needs. For the survivor, it's a lifeline.

- Manifesto | Modular Design, Mobility & Vision | Guesscreative
Guesscreative's Visionary Manifesto — redefining design, mobility, and modular real estate with a bold philosophy of space, culture, and growth. Guesscreative Visionary Manifesto A Philosophy in Motion | By Gueston Smith F or those who design with soul and build with intention. The Guesscreative Visionary Manifesto is a personal philosophy, an unfiltered expression of how design, mobility, and purpose converge to shape not just structures, but the human experience. At the heart of this manifesto is a belief: Space is not just functional. It is emotional, psychological, spiritual, and communal. It reflects how we live, grow, and connect. This is a call to creators who don’t just build businesses, but carve out meaning. To developers who think in ecosystems, not just plots. To designers who know that form follows feeling. Inside this manifesto: A perspective born from experience, resilience, and ancestral wisdom A redefinition of modular architecture as freedom, not limitation A roadmap for building spaces that move, adapt, and scale with integrity A lens for viewing entrepreneurship as healing, contribution, and ownership "We don’t decorate. We liberate." – Gueston Smith This is a document for those who see beyond buildings and see design as a tool for growth.
