Container City, Container building complex in Trinity Buoy Wharf, London, England
Container City consists of multiple structures built from repurposed shipping containers, forming modular offices and accommodation spaces at Trinity Buoy Wharf.
The initial Container City I installation occurred in 2001, requiring four days for assembly and five months for interior fittings before expanding with Container City II in 2002.
The architectural design demonstrates sustainable urban development through the transformation of maritime containers into functional workspaces for artists and businesses.
The modular construction system reduces building time by fifty percent compared to traditional methods, requiring minimal foundation work and site preparation.
Nicholas Lacey Architects created a building system that connects shipping containers to form prefabricated steel modules covering 574 square meters of space.
