First Container Will Transform Shipping Containers into a Storytelling Center in Detroit

An exciting new project in Detroit will use recycled shipping containers to create an innovative new community space that will be used to bring back the art of storytelling. The plan calls for two phases of construction. The first will cover a community lobby called First Container , which would later be joined by phase two, a shipping container space and hotel called Collision Works . Both projects will re-enliven Detroit’s Eastern Market area, inviting locals and visitors to reconnect and share stories, while encouraging community programming in the shipping container complex.

Anthony Duncan Designs St. Louis’ First Shipping Container Building

St. Louis is about to receive its first shipping container structure, a three-story mixed-use building that will be built using 10 shipping containers. Designed by Architect Anthony Duncan for Patrick Barnidge’s development firm, Delsa Development, the new building will be built on a city-owned lot in the Grove area of Forest Park Southeast. It will be erected on the site of a once-condemned single-family home, and the project is quickly gaining favor in the neighborhood.

Charming NYC Townhouse Comes with Its Own Treehouse

We think we can pretty much crown whomever purchases this amazing NYC townhouse with its very own treehouse as the most spoiled person ever. Jealousy aside, it’s a lot of fun to take a little photo tour through the home (which is listed at just under $6 million) and just daydream. Maybe we could afford just the treehouse by itself?

Recycled Shipping Pallet Pavilion Springs Up in Christchurch, New Zealand

Christchurch, New Zealand suffered a number of devastating earthquakes in the past 2 years, which left almost 200 people dead and thousands without a home. Now artists and architects are rebuilding the city with innovative projects that seek to revitalize open spaces. One of these brilliant projects is the Summer Pallet Pavilion in central Christchurch – an impressive venue made entirely from recycled materials and wooden shipping pallets . Gap Filler collaborated with emerging designers, established professionals, architects and numerous volunteers to create this self-contained space, which is covered in plants and features a stage, several counters/table and a large amount of seating. It is incredible that even in a city that has been reduced to rubble, there is so much inspiration and innovation leading the drive to rebuild. + Pallet Pavilion + Gap Filler Via Rincarnation The article above was submitted to us by an Inhabitat reader.

Uprise Energy’s Adjustable, Portable Wind Turbine Emerges from a Shipping Container

Setting up a wind turbine can be a complicated task, and once one has determined its placement, employed a team to install it and connected it to a grid, you’re left with a large permanent structure that can’t be further customized. San Diego-based Uprise Energy has designed an inventive alternative. Their new wind turbine allows users to pack the whole power-generating device into a shipping container and drive wherever the wind takes them. Watch a video of the turbine in action after the jump!
