El Paso’s first commercial project incorporating shipping container design, this two story coffee house includes an art gallery second floor and terrace, and amazing views of El Paso’s San Jacinto Plaza.
The Coffee Box was a collaboration between Root and FE Structural and involved the design, fabrication and installation of what has become a destination for travelers visiting and working in downtown El Paso. The coffee shop and art gallery was an excellent example of how simple, well curated design could make a dramatic impact on a city’s landscape. The cantilevered container design not only accommodated the owner’s space requirements, but also provided two outdoor patio areas.
