MODULAR CONTAINERS BY KUMAR AND ASSOCIATES

Modular container architecture is a form of architecture using steel inter-modal containers (shipping containers) as structural elements. The use of containers as a building material has grown in popularity over the past several years due to their inherent strength, wide availability, and relatively low expense. Homes have also been built with containers because they are seen as more eco-friendly than traditional building materials such as brick and cement.

Due to their shape and material, containers can be easily modified to fit many purposes. Containers are designed to be stacked in high columns, carrying heavy loads. They are also designed to resist harsh environments, such as on ocean-going vessels or sprayed with road salt while transported on roads. 

Though shipping containers are extensively being used by the shipping companies for the storage & transportation of goods from one location to another, its uses have incredibly increased in the construction field as well. 

Innovative uses of Modular containers

Home containers:

Container homes are exactly what they sound like; homes made from the steel shipping containers that you see carrying goods everywhere on trains, trucks, and ships. interest in container homes is also part of a wider interest in saving money with prefabricated and modular homes. 

Offices:

Shipping containers are blank canvases that are refurbished to construct all types of structures, including commercial office buildings and spaces. While building mobile mini 20’ open bay offices from a single box is quite common, many more companies have now stretched the limits and look forward to buying and leasing mobile modular office trailers and buildings as well. Container built office is also a profound option for the emerging entrepreneurs who do not want to spend much on renting or buying a brick made office space. Also, space constraints are a major issue in many parts of the world, and modular shipping containers have been effectively used to tackle this issue.

Swimming Pool:

 Ever thought how cool it would be to have a pool in your courtyard! It is no more astonishing the fact that shipping boxes are enormously being converted into a stunning swimming pool. Without any digging and civil construction, 20’ and 40’ shipping containers can easily be dropped on your location and can be modified as a pool within a day. The best thing is that they are portable, environment- friendly and cost-effective.

Shop and Stores:

There are many companies who give previously dull-looking containers a fresh and stunning look by building small shops and long laying mega stores. From pedaling ice cream to hawkers selling households, these boxes have been refurbished to beautifully serve retailing needs. The size, strength and strapping nature of cargo containers makes them ideal for roadside shops and stalls & even large shopping malls. 

Bridges:

The Idea of building bridges from large corrugated steel boxes came into light when architects from Yoav Messer proposed their 525 feet-long bridge design connecting Rod Road to the Ariel Sharon National park in Israel. The proposal states that the construction will be followed by using recycled shipping containers supporting pedestrian and light weight vehicles. Some of the features like- low-cost, durability, robust, easy to set up and its environment friendliness make it ideal to construct bridges.

Schools and Hostels:

 Thinking of container built schools and hostels may not give a pleasing visualization. But some cargotecture companies have made it possible to build bigger, spacious and usable schools and hostels with an attractive look and feel infrastructure. Various schools are finding it a good option to construct classrooms out of shipping boxes. The biggest advantage associated with this is whenever the school wants to relocate or shift they can easily bring the buildings along with them.

Emergency Hospitals:

Ever heard of the term of ‘Clinic in a Can’? It’s been years that mobile containers are hugely being used for the construction of emergency hospitals or small clinical space. These emergency hospitals being portable acts a true lives saver as it can be carried and transported to any places. Similar to the ambulance, they are widely used during the time of contingencies such as war, accidents, natural disasters, etc when rushing with hundreds of patients in hospitals is not possible. There comes the enormous use of portable emergency hospitals.

Disco & bars:

Cargo containers have also found great acceptance among the disco, bar-loving, and the pop-hopping crowd. The concept is so simple; a truck brings up a few containers and drops off at your desired location. With the effort of a sharp handed architecture and designer, they can instantly be constructed as a nightclub. A pop-up shipping containers nightclub will really give you a ‘wow’ factor with its luxuriousness at any event.

Sauna:

 How about building a small sauna for you in the corner of your house or the garden? Squeezing foam balls doesn’t always help everyone relieve stress, so the people who love to spend their quality time in peace- container built saunas could be the best option for them. Constructed from recycled cargo containers, it can be easily available at cheap negotiable prices with unique designs.
