MIXED USE COMMERCIAL SHIPPING CONTAINER

MIXED USE COMMERCIAL SHIPPING CONTAINER

The design firm created a modular container project featuring a shell-core design of eight shipping containers repurposed into a commercial complex for boutique wine tasting rooms, coffee shops, art galleries, and a rooftop for use as an event space.

AB design studio conceived a space that contributes to the thriving cultural movement within the area, and appropriately responds to the scale, history, and current character of its surroundings.

Keeping consistent with the warehouse feeling of the neighborhood, the architects purposefully left the containers uncovered to express the industrial nature of these nontraditional building elements. Wood and plaster architectural features were added to the structure to both complement and contrast with the shipping containers.

The designers incorporated ample parking space, along with a designated valet section for visiting patrons. A semi-enclosed outdoor courtyard easily accessible at the southern corner provides an additional area for social interactions.
