Temporary cabin above the street

May 8th, 2008, by Maarten, filed under observations

In Copenhagen, a funny solution is used for construction workers cabins, during construction and renovation. To containers are placed on top of each other of which the lower one is storage and the upper one is a small room for construction workers to use during the day. The upper cabin is sometimes slightly bigger, which gives it an attractive aesthetic look. The two layers provide a nice spatial effect in public space.

See the five examples below

    well, we also have a lot of similar containers in tw everywhere for workers or poor families…
    and ppl actually LIVE inside the box with all the basic facilities
    that is why all the tw ppl laugh a lot when we see the famous “spacebox” standing in our campus!

    somehow, some intelligent designers came up with luxurious version for rich ppl !
