“They can also travel with you, or you can travel to them. This equation led to many possibilities and creative opportunities,” continued Barthelemy.

The architects have also thought of how to feature green spaces and garden areas. They explained that under and above each container a service cassette would provide electricity, air conditioning, fresh water and drainage. These cassettes would be filled with soil, allowing gardens and kitchen gardens to be created. They explained: “This allows nature to take back its rights when the containers are not there, with wild flowers and bees thriving in this new ecosystem.”

The architects have also seen branding opportunities behind their big idea. The design sketches feature containers sponsored by major brands such as Ferrari and Prada. Brands could certainly be interested in this increased level of exposure, due to the height of the hotel, the containers would be visible to a much wider audience than a standard billboard could offer.

sponsored:為慈善目的發起的、贊助的
certainly:無疑地
increased:增強的、增大的
exposure:暴露、暴曬、揭發

Ouahes stated, “To make it financially attractive for the operator, we find that creating a link between major brands, container fit out and Hive-inn operators could be a winning scenario.”

attractive:有吸引力的
fit out:裝備、配備
