Container City I & II




Completed in 2001 and 2002, these container cities were ahead of their time but still have a connection to Cubism and de stijl.

From their Website, about Container City I:

"The original Container City project, located at Trinity Buoy Wharf, in the heart of London's Docklands.
Completed in 5 months in 2001, Container City I was originally 3 stories high providing 12 work studios across 4,800 sq ft.
After high demand a fourth floor was added providing three additional live/work apartments.
As well as being very cost effective Container City I is environmentally friendly with over 80% of the building created from recycled material."

and Container City II:

"As the second phase of the original Container City project at Trinity Buoy Wharf, Container City II is both an extension and evolution of the first building.
Built adjacent to Container City I, with inter-connecting bridges, a new lift and full disabled access, Container City II was completed in 2002 providing a further 22 studios over five floors.
In contrast to the first phase, Container City II is a funky ziggurat shape and painted in bright colours to reflect the creative flair of those who work here."
