The pair believe that brands could utilize the containers and use them as showrooms, even replacing the mini-bar with a product bar. “Imagine spending a night in a Hive-Inn Rolex room, trying on their watches … you may check out the next day with one of them; the same story goes for Vuitton,” added Ouahes.

showroom：陳列室（= a room for good sell）

While branding could be very attractive and successful in a hotel or showroom environment, the architects are quick to point out that it is not a defining part of the design. They acknowledge that if the containers were used for emergency or disaster housing then obviously the branding would not be necessary. “Unless brands would be attracted to being exposed as contributors to emergency housing relief,” explained Barthelemy.
