At the Container Stack Pavilion, shipping containers are stacked and shifted in plan and layered in elevation to maximize rooftop views and shade ground-level public areas. The pavilion extends out toward bordering streets, showcasing its interior activities. The ends of each container are capped with full height windows, allowing sightlines throughout the entire building. Inside, a double height central atrium is carved out where the two levels of shipping containers overlap. A 7.5-meter cantilevered container is the point of entrance to the roof.

The Container Stack Pavilion is a temporary structure that can be disassembled and moved to other locations.
