With the continuous development of modular buildings,
commercial use can be called "blooming everywhere",
after all, it has too many advantages!
Operating in an ordinary commercial street,
you may also need to pay expensive rent,
and relocation also requires major engineering,
but with a container,
you can save even the rent of the shop (of course, you may also need some land rent),
and the relocation is even more Come, come, say go, go...
The modular building introduced today is a container barber shop
from Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.
It consists of a 40ft second-hand container and a 12ft brand new container.
The structure of the building is very simple.
Two containers are set up side by side.
The new 12-foot shipping container is docked
next to the 40-foot second-hand shipping container.
The exterior is a combination of mud green and dark gray.
Enter through the glass door at the end of the 40-foot container,
and you'll be greeted with a counter full of flowers and greenery that feels warm and natural.
Opposite the counter is a large floor-to-ceiling window,
which transmits natural light into the interior.
In addition, there are several cut strip skylights on the interior walls.
As a structure, the architects connected the 12-foot container to
the central section of the 40-foot container
and installed a shampoo kiosk with 2 shampoo racks in it.
It's interesting on the outside and very easy to use on the inside.
The floors inside the barbershop are wooden
and the ceilings and walls are painted white,
creating a stylish and serene space.
The hair service offers a total of 4 seats, each with a separate mirror.
