Container Coffee Dublin is a tiny cafe founded by television producer Gordon Hickey that's located on Thomas Street, an area that was chosen specifically by its founder due to its previous lack of such shops.
As the name of the shop suggests, it's structured from a transformed shipping container, which is painted a bright hue of electric blue to stand out in the urban landscape. Due to the bright color that the shipping container is painted, the sleek branding that's featured on the side of it in white instantly stands out.
To make Container Coffee Dublin look more like a permanent shop than a beautifully designed shipping container, as well as more accessible for consumers, it has a large ramp and railing in front of it.
