DESIGN
The project explores the reuse of a shipping container into a mobile ticketing office, positioned on an unused corner of a parking lot. Inspired by travels to Mexico, the design draws from the region’s bold use of daylight and color to create presence and energy in public space. The modified container becomes both structure and signal — an architectural expression of mobility, access, and connection to place. Through material contrast, transparency, and urban scale, the project engages its context with a sense of immediacy while remaining adaptable to different environments.
