Container City Built in Mexico


Stunning Container City Springs up in Mexico

Shipping Container City Mexico recently sprung up just outside of Mexico city. Created by a small community of businesses, the project features restaurants, gallery space, bars, funky stores and even living spaces constructed completely out of recycled shipping containers.

Container City is located about two hours outside of Mexico City in Cholula, and is comprised of about 50 standard shipping containers. The developers took 4500 sq meters (48,500sq.ft) of space and plopped down the containers, stacking them to create courtyards, alleys and streets. The containers were then painted bright colors and outfitted with lighting, kitchens, dining areas and more. There is even an open public area with ping pong tables where people can go and hang out.

The city consists of restaurants, juice bars, normal bars, funky little shops, bookstores, art galleries as well as a few residential apartments. There’s plenty of outdoor space to sit around and hang out..

The House with Moving Walls

House with Moving Walls
The House with Moving Walls

This house with Moving Walls was built near the Polish capital Warsaw, What makes the house in these photos so unusual is that it has moving walls in an attempt to make it as safe as possible.

When the house is open to the garden toward the west and east sidewalls, an outer courtyard is created. A person can’t get in through the garden or go through the main entrance of the building. The owners must wait for a certain period of time after the opening to the security entrance. Therefore, when the house is closed, the security zone protects the building. And it looks amazing houses after all
