Innovative Repurposed Sea Container Storage Units

Upcycling sea container storage units is extremely beneficial for the environment as it reduces the need for using new resources. This new and exciting eco-friendly trend is something the Store That team can definitely get behind! 

Shipping containers can be used for endless creative and innovative purposes – from playgrounds to hotels, the opportunities are boundless! As the team here at Store That love the idea of repurposing storage units, we thought to share with you some of our favourite ideas. 

Restaurants and Bars 

One of the most popular uses for repurposed sea container storage units is to serve food and drink. BOXPARK is a well-known company that has brought shipping containers a new lease of life in East London. Each of their three venues across the city offers an impressive collection of street food vendors – what's not to like! 

Theatres 

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London is probably one of the most iconic theatres of all time. “The Container Globe Theatre” is almost an exact replica to commemorate this renowned historic theatre. However, there is a modern-day twist involved... it’s made of repurposed sea container storage units! It’s the ideal solution for a structure that needs to be moved around and disassembled when required. 

Offices and Hotels 

Converted shipping containers can be used for just about any type of building that you can think of, including offices and hotels. With the ever-increasing cost of property, it provides a great sustainable and cost-effective alternative. For some perspective, the average cost of constructing a house in the UK is just short of £240,000 whereas the price of a shipping container home can be less than £83,000!  

Horse Tack Rooms 

Secure and waterproof storage for expensive horse tack and equipment is vital; so why not consider using a repurposed shipping container? A storage unit on the yard shouldn’t attract much attention with its anonymity. Although, if thieves do make their way onto the yard, then they’re going to have a tough time getting into your container anyhow!
