Cianjin District The container hotel of Central Park
The container hotel of Central Park, designed by Mark Lin, is a composite building with one underground and ten aboveground floors that house a restaurant, rooftop bar, and room units. The Hotel comprises of a steel structure and housing units constructed from a large number of containers. The units are scattered along the building’s facade, in a form that is dynamic, organic, and 3D. These containers were pushed to the back with added green shrubs on the surface to lower the feeling of oppression between adjacent rooms. The facade of the building facing the main street boasts streamlined grilles, creating an exterior that is unique in the city’s urban landscape.
前金／中央公園貨櫃酒店
高雄港作為台灣重要的出口重鎮，貨櫃正是高雄鮮明的工業意象，不過當這個運輸載具使用年限屆滿而不再使用時，即集中至都市邊陲形成一座座的貨櫃山。然而大量產製的貨櫃有良好的加工特性，簡易的『再製使用』即可再次投入市場，故貨櫃屋成為台灣各地的特殊風貌。
貨櫃酒店是一個複合式建築，為地下一層、地上十層，內有餐廳、屋頂酒吧及酒店住房單元，由林志峯建築師設計，將於今年啟用。這座建築正是考量貨櫃快速回收再利用的特性，將貨櫃屋文化重新詮釋，打造現代性的綠色建築。
結構採用鋼構造並嵌入大量貨櫃作為住宿單元，一座座的住房單元錯落於建築立面上，仿佛是具有動感、有機的立體化貨櫃屋。每個貨櫃層層的退縮及表層的綠色灌木，降低了鄰房的壓迫感；臨主要道路的建築立面則以流線性格柵及適當的建築退縮，為這一面街景塑造獨特城市人文風貌。
