What Are You Thinking About?

It's a commercial lot, it's in front of save more supermarket. Thanks sir EQ, we were lucky, the owner needed the money and sold it at below market price, so we jumped into the opportunity, now the big part of the our funds is going into the building a structure, the plan was commercial space for the ground floor and apartment space for the 2nd and 3rd floor for single professionals working in the city.

They actually won't with proper roofing, drainage, cladding & glass applications. Aging should be considered part of its distinct character & art. All about approach.[emoji4]
Oh...the cost...buying used significantly stretches the gap between them container & concrete structures.[emoji4]

I agree. Pang temporary shelter lang or office ang container vans.

Huwag na kasi gumaya sa abroad na ginagawang bahay shipping containers. Masyado gaya-gaya hinde naman bagay dito sa local settings.

again, nobody's gonna pay good money renting a container van for a store/resto/business

[uls]

as if hindi pa nasubukan ng mga businessman dito sa NCR gumawa ng commercial area na puro container van ang rental spaces

bottom line: walang tumatagal

[travajante]

Think cost & outside them boxes. Art, architecture & proper building tech can add em value.
There are companies now manufacturing frames aimed at similar aesthetics at a fraction of traditional structural cost...
A matter of technical & design approach.

well, if the finished product looks like the rusty container that you used...
but if fixed pretty well...

since maglalabas ka na ng puhunan i-gastos mo na sa maayos at tama

tsaka na ung experimental artsy-romance-clouding-your-judgement investments pag madami ka na extrang pera

as if there aren't already businessmen who put beautified container vans on empty commercial property and rented them out

2 patong complete with steel walkways

what happened to those?

wala na

many years ago there was one commercial area along quezon ave near national book store (if you're heading towards edsa, lampas lang ng mercury drug/national book store)

puro container vans and the stores are mostly selling clothes and sneakers

di tumagal

i get the concept ok?

it doesn't last

i haven't seen a container van commercial area that lasted even few a years

Sad reality here....lack/absence of originality, sir. Old homes we claim historical are mostly of Hispanic & American colonial influences. Engineering & architectural textbooks, studies & references were mostly western. Even our building codes aren't our own. Truly local & endemic were of primitive methods & materials...light & temporary. So what originality is there to claim?

Thanks mga sir, this big investment is for the future of our kids and hopefully this won't be the last, me and my barkadas already put up a company and registered it at the SEC, to be honest, compared to my friends, I don't have a deep pocket, hopefully I can keep up with them as they plan to buy and buy properties.

As for the container kind of structures, looks nice but I think the others won't like it, usually they want are those who will stand the test of times and metal is not one of them.

decisions are made with $$$ in mind

make decisions with emotions/nostalgia/romance you end up losing $$$

emotional pursuits of nostalgia/artsy/romance are for established rich kids/trust fund babies whose family fortunes can subsidize losses and keep money-losing ventures operating indefinitely

If resources are there for a proper traditional longterm structure, that surely is the better path. The suggestion to go metal was a response to the hint of budget limit, sir. Possibilities & options aren't limited to the conventional.

Yup true, but they're more of an old fashioned business type of guys when it comes to business sir travs.

used container van -- cheap

beautify it/make it useable -- not cheap

hoping the public would check out a freaking container park -- gamble

it's a novelty

"oh how nice"

would you come back?

"nope"

potential renters -- "i'm not gonna pay the same amount as renting a proper space. i'm only renting a container van dude"

might as well build something with steel, concrete, and glass

Twasn't meant to be about art vs moolah, sir, but a suggested route if initial funds were a concern.
The team's building advocacy here has always been about taking ownership in everything we do. From needs, wishes, budget...to design/material/tech problem elimination...& down to keeping upkeep the lowest....its frequency, farthest apart.
Containers, I agree, do pose challenges in space & corrosion management...& the 'temporary' impression. I've seen all these compensated by ingenious focal designs & approaches.
If there's one thing the Ph isn't deficient of...it's brilliant minds. Blessed here to know a handful them.[emoji120][emoji4]
