‘Cargotecture’ hotel, SE1
Design studio Doone Silver Kerr turned a stack of used shipping containers into a hotel and wine bar with a geometric facade of welded fins that function as sunshades.
The Stow-Away Hotel in Waterloo is made from end-of-life shipping containers that have been used "countless times previously" according to the practice.
At five storeys high, the structure is made of 25 nine-metre-long containers stacked five in a row.
Large windows have been cut into the street-facing ends of the containers, with faceted steel sunshades aligned across the top corner.
