Architectural Renderings House-World’s Tallest Shipping Container at Zurich

The Switzerland based company Freitag has well known for their innovative and stylish messenger bags made from old truck tarps. For now, they made their radical shipping container store in Zurich boasts the title of being the tallest in the world.

It’s about 26 meter (85 foot) high structure consists of 17 white, yellow, orange, blue, red and green containers that are, of course, reclaime just like the materials they use for their popular bags.

It’s also the tallest building in Zurich. The first 2 floors of the store consist of 4 horizontal shipping containers each, giving them a sense of stability. The third and fourth floors are then pared down to just 2 horizontal containers each.


Finally, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth floors are just one container each, making it seem like the building could topple at any moment, though that’s obviously not the case since each level has been secured thoroughly. On the top floor, there is even an observation deck with binoculars.

On the bottom four floors house the actual store with displays and merchandise. The other floors contain areas for storage and a staircase that take shoppers up to the viewing platform.

What a fantastic example of a company walking the walk as much as they talk the talk extending reuse and recycling from their product line into their retail spaces.
