The 12 unit office complex located in providence rhode island is made using repurposed shipping containers that have been stacked on top of one another. the building was designed by joe haskett of distill studio and built by stack design build.
the building up-cycled 160 tons of steel that would have been otherwise wasted. in addition to finding a use for all 32 shipping containers, the building is 25-30% more energy efficient than the building code requires. the unit was assembled in an astounding 4 days using the pre-cut containers that were transported to the site on trucks. the building is the first commercial structure made using repurposed shipping containers and is set to be complete this spring.
