Below are 10 container buildings.
1. Bharathi Research Station in Antarctica
This Bharathi research station was built by the German firm BOF Architects and is located in another extreme environment - the coastal mountains at the bottom of the Earth. It is the residence of Indian researchers and can be easily relocated to reduce environmental impact.
2. Tree houses in Jerusalem, Israel
Literally speaking, it is a growth structure - two pine trees piercing through the porch at both ends of this rural household. This treehouse was designed by Golany Architects, creating a strong contrast with industrial architectural aesthetics (often associated with container buildings).
3. Decameron architecture in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Architects Marcio Kogan and Mariana Simas from MK27 transformed an empty city path into a neon lit residence with a small garden by resetting shipping containers.
4. Building CC4441 in Tokyo, Japan
Tomokazu Hayakawa cut and stacked two black containers to build a gallery and office area in Taitung District.
5. Container houses in Brisbane, Australia
Architect and designer Todd Miller didn't just use one container to build the house - it looks like he used a shipping company because he used 31 containers to build this industrialized but popular house, featuring a huge graffiti mural on the back wall.
6. Container Bar in Austin, Texas
This bar on Rainey Street in Austin has been planned for a long time and opened for operation earlier this year, bringing tremendous impact. Similarly, driving a food truck has also brought some commercial benefits, making it look much more ordinary. Although canned beer is more popular here, it also gives canned beer a great feeling to drink.
7. New Jerusalem Orphanage in Johannesburg, South Africa
4D and A Architects used over 20 shipping containers to construct a more spacious and affordable house. In addition to the services provided by this structure, the use of space and the different angles of each container also make it more modern.
8. Starbucks Container Coffee Shop in Chicago, Illinois
This 65 square meter (700 square foot) coffee shop in the Rogers Park community of Chicago is one of the many modular experimental projects. This LEED certified structure demonstrates how to build better building projects, rather than simply placing shops in any space.
9. WFH House in Wuxi, China
Copenhagen's Arcgency firm utilized the solid framework of containers to construct a spacious, bamboo covered modular house with modern style attributes and environmental features (solar cells, reservoirs, green roofs).
10. Mill Junction Student Dormitory in Johannesburg, South Africa
The developer of Citiq has decided to recycle and reuse building materials, decorating the 11 story student dormitory with containers and abandoned grain warehouses. This dormitory is located near the central business district of Johannesburg, with colorful and diverse forms, and can accommodate 400 students.
