The fact is that once they are recycled to the customer’s specifications; therefore, a commercial building made of shipping containers can be painted and trimmed to fit the neighborhood it is in.
Altering a shipping container for use
The altering is done in such a way that it is hard to see the difference most times. It starts with sandblasting and painting both inside and out which requires special paint and then special insulation to help manage climate control. Each container also needs wiring and plumbing correctly installed.
Then the walls interior walls can bet put up in order to form walls for rooms or offices or even retail space.
Space-saving container architecture
Since the shipping containers can be stacked to make larger spaces and multiple floors that are structurally sound and safe.
That space saving is a good way to help the environment remain safe and keep the land available for the growth of trees and crops which not only provide food but oxygen and use CO2 as their own food depleting it from the air we breathe.
