The office is achieved with [shipping containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-model), but highlights a contemporary aesthetic that makes it appear as more of an ultra-modern space for business than an eco-friendly area for professionals to work. The space is spread out over two levels and boasts [solar panels on the roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florian-busch-architects) for power along with a [rainwater harvesting system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana) to help make it well-suited for off-grid use, while an open-concept space on either floor highlights a productive flow. The CAPSA Container 'Bureau Agreste' has been designed by Hugues Hernandez, Morgan Baufils, and Ariane Marty of the France-based construction company.
