Shipping Container Cafe:

Popularly known as the View Tube, the amazingly designed shipping container cafe is an excellent example of how shipping containers can be turned from scrap metal into something truly inspiring.

The shipping container cafe is made from shipping containers that were recycled and painted lime green.

Situated atop a hill that overlooks the London 2012 Olympics site, this multi-purpose shipping container cafe also serves as a gallery space and a look-out spot.

This 2-storey shipping container cafe was built by Urban Space Management. To build it, they had to first prefabricate it offsite and then followed by its assembly on site after it was transported to the location.

The structure is fitted with a cafe downstairs, sitting areas, low energy bulb lighting controlled by motion sensors, glass controlled by solar power and heating. Upstairs, you’ll find a large classroom and a multi shipping container viewing gallery.

Number of Shipping Containers Used in the Shipping Container Cafe:

15 shipping containers
