Container homes of Container City is a brilliant prefab housing & office space project by Urban Space Management Ltd. The Container City uses shipping containers to create prefab houses. The modular container homes of Container City are significantly environmentally friendly. Container city uses high strength, prefabricated steel modules that can be combined to create a wide variety of building shapes and adapted to suit most planning or end user needs. Container City offers an alternative solution to traditional space provision. They are ideal for office and workspace, live-work and key-worker housing. Container homes of Container City are stylish, cheaper and effective solution to housing problem in London.
Container City housing were made in two phases, Container City 1, was completed in 5 months in 2001, container city 1 was originally 3 stories high providing 12 work studios across 4,800 sq ft but after high demand a fourth floor was added providing three additional live / work apartments to Container City 1. As well as being very cost effective Container City 1 is environmentally friendly with over 80% of the building created from recycled material.
Container City 2, As the second phase of the original Container City project at Trinity Buoy Wharf, Container City 2 is both an extension and evolution of the first building.
Built adjacent to Container City 1, with inter-connecting bridges, a new lift and full disabled access, Container City 2 was completed in 2002 providing a further 22 studios over five floors.
In contrast to the first phase, Container City 2 is a funky ziggurat shape and painted in bright colours to reflect the creative flair of those who work here.
