Amusement Logic presents a proposal that combines façade design with prefabricated architecture using containers. The construction of buildings using recycled shipping containers is a trend that is spreading around the world, with more and more examples of its practice every day. On the one hand, it lowers construction costs; on the other hand, thanks to energy savings, recycling and prefabrication, it is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly form of construction than traditional construction.
In the case of this proposed design, a café whose construction is a combination of several containers, we have given it a “skin” of striking shapes. This almost organic skin, which envelops the modules of the café like a wave, seems to take us to a dreamlike world. As such, a café that might go unnoticed by passers-by and potential customers attracts their attention and draws them inside. The establishment therefore becomes a landmark that everyone takes as a reference point.
