5 Creative Shipping Container Conversions

Shipping Container Architecture is increasing in popularity, with many companies converting the containers into office space, emergency housing, movie theatres and many other creative spaces. The containers have also been used as locations for market stalls as well as warehouses. Incidentally, the largest shopping centre in Europe is comprised of aisles of stacked shipping containers.
