Here at Intermodal Eye, we don’t let our reporters rest even when they are on vacation, so here are some container spots that my colleague came across on a recent trip to New Zealand. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that we love a quirky use of a shipping container!
This is the perfect coffee shop which even provides its own seating area! Located on the Tauranga waterfront, an old shipping container has been transformed into a modern cafe selling coffee, finger food and ice cream. You can see that when it is closed, it resembles more of its original form:
Boxed Coffee looking more like a container!
When you need a booth for a car park attendant, an adapted container is the perfect answer! Easy to construct, rainproof and economic – what more could you ask for?
Containers make perfect kiosks and Waffle Supreme here has adapted this fire red container to make a nice stop for those in Auckland wanting a sweet hot snack. There is even a canopy to shield you from the rain and in the summer high stools are provided for outside seating!
