Looking for that extra bit of luxury? Why not consider a shipping container converted into a bar & restaurants
We were contacted by the architects responsible for designing the luxury holiday resort UNA at Carbis Bay, St Ives, Cornwall.
The resort consists of:
- Over 100 luxury holiday villas
- A 55-bedroom apartment/hotel complex
- Restaurants, bars, childcare facilities, and a shop
- Indoor swimming pool, gym, and spa
The client had a clear vision for the LIDO, which includes a large outdoor pool, a paddling pool, a luxurious lounge area, and a unique food and beverage facility made from shipping containers.
The concept is to create a change of pace in the food and beverage area by offering exciting, attractive options. To achieve this, we proposed a food outlet of a ‘pop-up’ nature, utilizing converted containers.
At Capital UK (Capital Containers Ltd), we provided four containers, which have been converted into a bar, a cellar, a kitchen, and a store.
Below we have pictures of the work in progress.
The plastic wall and window coverings have been left on as protection whilst in Transit. 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft shipping containers, all being used to create amazing extra space for these builds above. From just single containers to multiple containers being connected together to make large structures and very modern-looking buildings.
