This is the best way to recycle shipping containers, the best idea to eliminate waste. This CONTAINER CITY is located at Trinity Buoy Wharf in the London Docklands. The London docklands development is composed of environmentally friendly work studios and live/work lofts stacked on top of each other to create a 5-story building.
Aside from this Container City residential project, the system has been used in projects as diverse as classrooms, office spaces, residential units, retail spaces and even youth centres.
Containers as architecture are just one of the ways in which we can look at objects and find new uses to them. The modular nature of the containers, their adaptability, and the fact that they can be found in industrial surplus make them an ideal prefab material. The pictures show the adaptability of Nicholas Lacey’s Container City design, and well, how really cool looking it is.
This is a brilliant idea and I love the design and color, I never thought that the inside will look that beautiful.
