Core Case

This container coffee shop, built using shipping containers, transforms a transport space into a cleverly designed consumer space, showcasing the unique advantages of repurposed containers. Compared to traditional storefront construction, the robust structure and standardized dimensions of shipping containers allow for more efficient and environmentally friendly space creation. Their modular nature also provides more possibilities for creative design, ultimately resulting in this practical and aesthetically pleasing retreat in a corner of the city. The inherent metallic texture of the shipping containers becomes the most distinctive feature of the space. Without needing to build an additional main structure, the designer could simply cut and modify the containers to incorporate large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing natural sunlight to flood the interior. The outward-extending bar counters are all built on the sturdy frame of the containers, providing a convenient place for people to relax. While retaining the ruggedness of industrial style, the space is imbued with a delicate warmth through detailed design. This small breakfast shop, converted from a shipping container, perfectly embodies the environmentally friendly concept of “easy recycling” and the flexibility of modular design. It requires no lengthy infrastructure construction period and can be quickly deployed in any corner of the city; the robust container structure reduces maintenance costs, and standardized dimensions facilitate future expansion or relocation. Ultimately, it is not only a breakfast shop delivering delicious flavors, but also a vivid example of the value of converting shipping containers.
