Shipping container house by Daiken-Met Architects

This three-storey studio and living space by Japanese Daiken-Met Architects is made from repurposed shipping containers. Sited in Gifu, Japan, the studio acts as an office for the architecture practice. The firm obtained permission for a temporary structure which didn’t require construction below street level. Daiken-Met proposed a steel sturctural grid that is easily assembled and can subsequently be disassembled and reconstructed elsewhere.
