7 Design-Forward Shipping Container Hotels
Yes, shipping containers are a durable and important mode of transporting goods around the world. Yet when recycled and repurposed into livable space, these rectangular structures take on a completely different meaning. Take the Texas-based Hotel Flophouze, whose interior design includes salvaged antiques, or the Hougoumont Hotel Fremantle in Australia—a space that has implemented a naval-inspired design as a nod to its marine surroundings. These shipping container-turned-accommodation creators have married two important concepts of eco-friendly upcycling as well as innovative and funky designs. From a hotel inspired by winemaking to a property designed to blend in with its Florida surroundings, these are the hotels that you need to sleep in for an experience that's certainly outside of the box.
