Established in 2005, Topshell has built a wealth of experience and a rock solid reputation as one of South Africa’s leading engineering conversion companies.
Our all-inclusive specialized skill set allows us to manage your project in-house in its entirety: From conception to completion, you are in competent hands.
Our in-house CAD design, simulation, customised engineering and manufacturing infrastructure allows us to materialise your blue sky movable working or living space.
By recycling and repurposing discarded containers and building custom designed pods, Topshell creates new, movable spaces and places for people with limited environmental impact.

All our containers and pods are designed, developed and manufactured in-house in our Special Projects Workshop.
It is here where we create purpose-built spaces that add immense value to companies, communities, NGOs and individuals.
In the past 15 years, we've created almost 4000 spaces for life.
Making 1st world medical facilities accessible to all South Africans.
Providing safe, sanitary and comfortable classrooms for South Africa's future leaders.
Providing innovative space solutions through expert engineering.
Our success is built on our capacity to focus on our client and find out exactly what requirements the space should satisfy.
Coupled with our expert engineering solutions, and our keen attention to detail and quality finishing, we’re able to create sustainable Spaces for Life.
When it comes to finish, Topshell is meticulous about detail and quality, ensuring the best fixtures and finishes are applied to every pod and container.
The careful creation of custom, purpose-built spaces, can address issues such as inequality, poverty, job opportunities, and entrepreneurship.
Solution-based space unlocks endless possibilities and exposes individuals and communities to life-changing facilities and services previously considered too costly, difficult or downright impossible to deliver.
As a pharmaceutical supplier, we at Cipla aim to provide accessible, affordable, professional medical care for people in township areas that is also convenient and respectful of their dignity, and getting this right is not always easy.
In this way, our custom pods and containers address the very real restrictions and regulations associated with brick and mortar construction, enabling us to deliver a durable and detailed oriented-space that fulfills its purpose, while also expanding, uplifting and improving the lives of so many South Africans.
Topshell prides itself on its computer-aided design, CNC production processes and expert in-house engineering that goes into the conversion and customization of every Topshell container and custom-built pod.
This is expressed in everything: from the precision with which the structures seamlessly connect to the superior finishing of the space.
We have two clinical Nurse practitioners; a dental hygienist and administrator, and numerous volunteer medical staff who offer their expertise to our communities, and the clinic structure provided by Topshell is a pleasure for all of us to work in.
The communities in which we work are very fluid and land is difficult to come by, which means sometimes the spaces we create either need to be added to and enlarged or relocated entirely, so flexibility is non-negotiable.
From the first visit to the final installation, my experience with Topshell was amazing, not least of all, because my eyes were opened to the potential of these structures, for family and community use.
