Our friends at Visiondivision passed along their project which is part of a bigger commission to improve several power plants for an energy company.  The firm created a storage facility for several heating containers that could be quickly outsourced and serve as back-up power should the city experienced a black-out.  Working in an industrial area where the company was used to break ins and vandalism, the firm designed a “good looking, roofless, and flexible-as-an-anaconda building.”  Good looking in the sense that this storage facility could better the rough surroundings; roofless due to the fact that the large containers needed to be transported with a special crane truck; and flexible since the need for additional containers in the future should also be considered.
