Shipping container buildings aren’t new, but it’s always a nice surprise to see them in the United States where the eco design is rarely utilized. That’s why the ‘Box Office’ by Truth Box Architects, which is being built in Providence, Rhode Island is so exciting.
The ‘Box Office’ is being built on post-industrial land, and will use 32 old shipping containers. The building will also be energy efficient (and pretty cool to look at). Check out the ‘Box Office’ above.
