    i   Tony’s Farm is an organic vegetable supplier in Pudong, Shanghai. 350 Freight containers were developed into a 70 room hotel, a
    reception lobby, an office building within a packaging warehouse and an organic vegetable market. The project introduces an eco-
    friendly approach to farm buildings as well as a new typology of countryside recreation. Construction started June 2010 and was
    completed March 2011. Phase 1 includes the reception lobby as well as the office space.

    i   Hotel guests arrive under three containers cantilevered 6m off the building edge and enter a double height reception lobby followed
    by a triple height space before leaving the building taking electric cars to their rooms. A tea lounge occupies the cantilevered
    containers. The east facade of the existing warehouse was completely removed visually connecting both the reception and the office
    buildings. The warehouse is then re-enclosed by the office building containers that occupy part of the interior. Terraces on both
    buildings are connected through a pair of bridges.

    i   The original container floor and roof structures were substituted with reinforced concrete slabs. The containers lifted 200mm creating
    a dark shadow gap underneath.FCU units are wall-mounted allowing maximum ceiling height. A single steel frame railing is used with
    two fills: hexagon wire mesh for the exterior and stainless steel ropes for the interior. The cantilevered containers are supported by a
    steel structure integrated within the containers’ frame. Container doors are perforated and the interior spaces are re-enclosed with
    glazing behind.

    i   The container structure; beams and columns, are expressed in the interior and painted in a yellowish-green colour. White glass
    cladding produces interesting interior reflections in contrast to the matte black finish of the glass frames. The floor, furniture and shelves
    are all treated in bamboo. The reception counter is designed as a single block housing a counter, office space as well as a bar. A 3d
    matrix of spotlights hangs within the triple height space.
