cont1 Austrian extravagance: Gold plated shipping container bar blings up the night

Shipping container architecture has gained in leaps and bounds over the last two years and the designers and engineers who have ensured that this unique and eco-friendly building technique blossoms are now exploring new territories and experimenting with bold designs. The latest comes from Linz in Austria and architect Andreas Strauss is the conceiver of this blingy container bar that promises to dazzle up your night life. Dubbed as the ‘Froebe’, the original Chinese shipping container has been tuned up with hydraulics and a ‘rich’ paint job to ensure that the new 20 foot long and 5 feet wide center of night life steals the show in Linz.

The original container was 6 meters long and had to be unassembled and then assembled to a 5 meter long container that opens up into a lavish and cool modern interior clad in red. Do not underestimate the daft and modern interiors of the space though as it is complete with beer taps, a back counter, storage, cooler and a place to wash glasses. So, if you happen to be around in Linz, step right in for some late night joy!
