For this project, we created a glass container built from a converted shipping container with fully transparent walls. This container was used as an exhibition and presentation space and demonstrates how a classic shipping container can be transformed into a light, open, and visually striking structure for temporary applications.

Fully transparent container structure

The shipping container is fitted with large glass panels on all sides, making:

• the entire interior is visible from the outside
• the barrier to entry for visitors remains low
• the container functions as a display case in the public space

The transparency makes the glass container particularly suitable for exhibitions, art presentations, and temporary installations.

Exhibition setup with maximum visibility

Inside, the container is designed as an exhibition space, with freestanding display pieces visible from all sides. Thanks to the glass, this creates:

• a strong interaction between inside and outside
• a continuous visual experience, even outside of opening hours
• a clear focus on the content

The container thus serves as a permanent invitation to passersby.

Light, open, and spacious feel

Through the use of glass, the container remains:

• light and spacious
• open to the surroundings
• visually integrated into the landscape

Even in a compact container size, a pleasant and open atmosphere is created.

Suitable for public and temporary locations

This glass container is ideal for:

• temporary exhibitions
• art and cultural projects
• public installations
• product or concept presentations

The container can be placed in plazas, pedestrian areas, or along coastal and recreational areas without obstructing the view.

Technically modified and safely constructed

The shipping container was technically modified with attention to:

• glass mounting and stability
• lighting for the exhibition
• safe flooring and finish
• durability for outdoor use

As a result, the container functions as a fully-fledged, safe exhibition space.

Modular, relocatable, and reusable

As with all shipping container solutions, this glass container is also:

• modular in design
• easily movable
• reusable for other projects
• suitable for temporary or long-term use

The container can be reused later for a different purpose or at a different location.

Custom work by DS Units

DS Units was also responsible for the entire process for this project: from design and conversion to the installation of a ready-to-use glass container, fully tailored to visibility, safety, and presentation quality.

Features of this project:

• Glass container in a converted shipping container
• Fully transparent facades
