Container ComplexCity is a dynamic urban multiplex, a place to live, eat, work, and play.  Inspired from the street layout, the pathways in the complex resemble streets in a city that are arranged to connect the buildings formed by shipping containers.  Residential units are located in the southwest buildings with lobbies on the ground floor, entering from and opening to the commercial spaces.  The commercial spaces include retail shops, business offices,  gym, movie theater, bookstore, library, restaurants, market, daycare center, and more.  The ground floor of the complex is where all buildings are connected via the diagonal pathways. The pathways open up the four corners of the property to give access from the adjacent areas.  The northeast side opens to the train station and clock tower, with shops, restaurants, and open spaces attract people to hold different kind of functions such as art, entertainment, sales, etc.  The southeast side opens to the coliseum, bringing in the crowds with the social and entertainment programs.  The southwest and northeast sides bring in residents and workers from the adjacent streets and neighborhoods. 

Residential units range from 320 to almost 2000 square feet in size to accommodate a variety of potential dwellers, from single persons to large families, low income to affluent individuals. With the residential and commercial spaces coexisting in one place, the complex promotes a greener lifestyle in minimizing the need to drive.  It is also located near the train station to attract visitors and consumers.  The rooftop gardens, water feature, and green areas bring a much needed luxury to the occupants and visitors. Container ComplexCity is a place for everyone to do everything, everyday.
