Containerwerk shortlisted for Frame Awards 2019

A few weeks ago we were happy about the news that we made it from over 1000 applications to the longlist of the Frame Awards! Now we can proudly announce that we have made another step forward. Containerwerk is among five other companies nominated for the Frame Awards 2019 in the category “Sustainability”!

The “Sustainability” category rewards design solutions for interiors and spaces that are created with consideration for the social, economic and ecological footprint. The final jury decision will take place in Amsterdam in February. We are so excited!

 

Containerwerk & Rausch Schokoladen at Costa Rica

The Rausch Chocolate Company has established an institute in Costa Rica as they wish to bring back and re-establish fine old cocoa varieties that over time have become lost due to mass cultivation. At this site – far from civilisation in the heart of the jungle – they need a basecamp. Together, we came up with the idea to build a completely self-sufficient station out of containers featuring sleeping facilities, a small lab and a small office. There is, after all, no water and no electricity there. Planning has now been completed and in the next few months production work will begin. It will have its own water purification system and a solar unit for producing electricity that can be stored using silicon batteries. We will ultimately be delivering a stand-alone solution that can be deployed anyway in the world.
