We’ve witnessed some innovative re-uses of shipping containers in the past from retail pop-up shops to portable health clinics, but the Müvbox Restaurant located in Montreal’s Old Port is particularly stunning. The website explains the modular design:
Created from an old shipping container powered by solar energy, this concept is a modern-day reinvention of the
old-fashioned canteen which creates an experience that’s environmentally-friendly, ethical and affordable. Every night, Müvbox vanishes back into its cube, redeploying early the next morning in less than two minutes, at the touch of a button!
In keeping with the underlying notion of sustainability, the restaurant dishes out high-end fast food using locally sourced products. And given the inherent mobility, adaptability and self-contained aspects of his restaurant model, owner and creator Daniel Noiseux hopes that other entrepreneurs will be interested in developing their own bistros-in-a-box from the Müvbox concept.
