Conceptually, these continue to appear on a regular basis. The \u201cBox Office,\u201d a shipping container structure modified into an office, is one such novelty for the eco-fanatics. Standing tall and proud in Providence, Rhode Island, this prefabricated construction touts meticulous stacking of 32 shipping containers. Designed by Joe Haskett, the Distil Studio principal, this building ensures a creative and environmentally conscious development.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inhabitat.com\/2009\/06\/05\/prefab-friday-box-office-shipping-container-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Box Office<\/strong><\/a>, basically, reuses 90 tons of upcycled steel, and flaunts rain gardens, non-petroleum based insulation and low-VOC interior finishes. In addition, there are high-performing windows, doors and an HVAC system to filter pollutants from surface excess water and provide a responsive environment to the inhabitants. The building will use 25% less electricity when compared to the conventional ones. It provides a better insight into the recession-hit construction tactics where prefab and recycled is surely going to rule, says Peter Gill Case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truthbox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Truth Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Making waste usable in building strange abodes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, it\u2019s always better to recycle rather adding nuisance to the environment.
