Powered by solar energy, recyclable shipping container works as party space

Now we’ve heard of those shipping crates being turned into camping cabins, restaurants and homes, as a way to recycle the same, and give the homeless a roof over their heads. And just as we expected, shipping containers have now got a cooler and greener shade too! Who needs to stay out in the open or have a barbeque party in your backyard, when you could move this container around, open up its flaps, and have a full fledged place to enjoy a party outdoors! Known as the Boxman, probably owing to the fact that it remains a recycled box, this one requires only 20 minutes of setup, with a 500 square foot party venue powered by the sun. Amazing? Read on!

The Boxman also features bamboo floors, bar seating for six, and marble countertops, all juiced by solar power. You can also plug in a cool LCD TV, just incase your guests decide to glue on to one. And yes, this one works best for day parties, unless you count on tweaking it with a bunch of high end batteries to store the day’s juice.
