Shipping container structures<\/a> have gained immense popularity in recent times and architecture firms globally have\u00a0designed some amazing\u00a0multi-storey buildings by\u00a0stacking containers.<\/p>\n

Tel Aviv-based Potash Architects\u00a0<\/strong>repurposed seven shipping containers and transformed them into an\u00a0office building\u00a0accommodating\u00a0office spaces, recreational areas and technical facilities.\u00a0Named Shipping Container Terminal<\/strong>, the building\u00a0is located at the Port of Ashdod cargo area which is about 40 kilometers south of Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

The architects chose shipping containers for the construction because they wanted the building to reflect its industrial seafront location.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“It also made a lot of sense from a sustainable standpoint because in this particular project, used shipping containers were an abundant resource.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But, what really differentiates this structure from the rest is the\u00a0innovative way\u00a0of\u00a0positioning one of the containers at\u00a0a 30 degree\u00a0angle housing a scissor staircase.\u00a0Three of its steel walls were replaced with glazing, while additional structural supports were added at the two main stress\u00a0points to hold it firmly in place.<\/p>\n

\n“The inspiration was drawn by the way containers are stacked across the facility,” explained project architect Sivan Joseph. “We wanted to extend that narrative and add some playfulness to differentiate it from its surroundings and accentuate the recreational function of the building.”<\/p>\n
