CASACOR SC presents creative uses of containers in architecture

CASACOR Santa Catarina has 12 temporary spaces, which were assembled in containers due to their easy removal and reuse, without producing waste. Invented in 1937, the large module revolutionized the transportation industry and, today, brings new concepts and possibilities to architecture. What was previously abandoned is now reused in countless solutions, such as in civil construction, allowing for new, more sustainable concepts at lower costs compared to conventional construction. Made of steel, the containers are resistant and long-lasting. In addition, they are lightweight and manufactured according to a standardization for perfect fit, as was the case at PUB CCH (Confraria do Chopp Honesto), by architects Ricardo Fonseca, Mário Pinheiro, Beto Gebara, Luiz Fernando Zanoni, André Lima and businessman Wagner Barreiro, formed by five similar structures that were fitted together to create the space. Due to its relaxed style, PUB covered part of the walls with posters with irreverent phrases, and the flooring was laminated and dekton, which resembles pallet wood. The ideal is to line the containers with thermal insulation, such as plaster itself, as was done at the Ticket Office , designed by architect Juliana Jagelski Daniel. The space promoted by Jota Jota and executed by the MM Arquitetura Conectada office presents solutions for the entire project and explains practical issues to help consumers in their daily lives. The Jota Jota Lounge, located on the deck of the headquarters, was set up inside a container and presents the challenge of showing the public different lighting solutions. “The container was designed with the intention of being a sensory experience for visitors. This space is connected to an outdoor living area, where we highlight the existing century-old tree. It is a moment to rest during the visit and appreciate the surroundings,” comment the architects.
