About the project
A shop made with a container, also known as a container shop or a shipping container store, is a structure that has been repurposed from a standard shipping container. These containers are typically made of durable steel and have been used for shipping goods around the world. However, they are now being used for a variety of purposes, including retail stores, cafes, offices, and even homes. A container shop typically consists of one or more shipping containers that have been modified to create a functional retail space. The containers are often stacked or arranged side by side to create a larger space, and can be customized to suit the needs of the business.
The exterior of a container shop is typically painted or decorated to attract customers and create a distinctive look. The interior can be outfitted with a variety of fixtures and fittings, such as shelving, lighting, and heating/cooling systems, to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for customers.
