But <a href=\"http:\/\/greenbuildingelements.com\/2014\/03\/20\/shipping-containers-and-tree-houses\/\">designers around the world<\/a> have seen <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2012\/10\/downtown-las-vegas-betting-on-used-shipping-containers-for-revitalization\/\">all sorts of cool possibilities<\/a> in these basic structures. One of the latest comes from hotel chain Marriott, who\u00a0hired container designers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sgblocks.com\/\">SG Blocks<\/a> to add a bit reused edge to the launch of it <a href=\"http:\/\/moxy-hotels.marriott.com\/\">Moxy Hotel brand<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The contractor came up with prototypes for an open-air bar, and a hotel room based on shipping containers. On display at\u00a0The Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles, these designs will find a home at company headquarters Bethesda, Maryland. The bar will travel to company events that need a bit of youthful zing, though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>No words on whether these concept will actually be used in Moxy Hotels&#8230; that would be exceptionally cool and hip and edgy. Take a look at the photos from the LA launch, and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/MG_5204.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
