The container building is

 located on a 4250 square foot open plot in Gujarat, India,

and is called [CONTAINER BISTRO].

It is decorated in charcoal black,

 piercing the simple solid wood color,

and is located on a sporadic street in Anand,

reflecting the novelty of the box structure.

[CONTAINER BISTRO] The dining room is composed of five containers,

sitting high in a section of pebbles,

along the entrance channel at the eastern edge

and passing through the garden lawn to the north.

The container is designed with minimal intervention

 and a palette of basic materials to make it the focus of the project.

The layout of the indoor dining room is not complicated,

including an indoor dining room,

an outdoor party space, a kitchen,

 storage and the surrounding services required by the dining room.

Larger containers are stacked side by side along

their longer edges to form the main indoor dining room.

Two smaller containers are arranged in parallel along

the longer edge to form a kitchen on the side of the dining space.

A small container is stacked vertically on top of them, projecting

and limiting the main entrance of the restaurant.

From the entrance, the buildings gradually come into play.

Below the vertical top of the reduced horizontal building,

the corridor lobby retreats from an existing re used door to the key egress area.

Articulated by connecting two large storage containers,

the internal movement is the exposed appearance defined

by the affected north wall membrane

 and another paneled insulation wall space.

It is obvious in the inlaid Kota rock floor

and Beaten Copper lighting fixtures,

which are specially made by local craftsmen to illuminate the area.

 The south wall reflects the feeling of release, adding a solid wood deck,

a sitting area overlooking the lawn

 and a narrow shade of the arbor.

To the north is a kitchen formed by

 two smaller containers arranged in parallel.

In addition, through the entrance lobby,

people climb the metal cantilever stairs to the terrace as

 a cafeteria or outdoor gathering area.
