Meet the Man Rahul Jain Who Upcycled Shipping Containers to Build a Cool College Cafe!

If you were to look at the structure from the top, you will see that it is shaped like an infinity symbol. And that's what the cafe is named too.

The 27-year-old architect is the proprietor of Rahul Jain Design Lab (RJDL) and is responsible for designing the 'Cafe Infinity' located in Ghaziabad's ITS Dental College.

When the institute approached him to build a sustainable structure, Rahul thought that it was the perfect opportunity to experiment with shipping containers.

The 19-feet structure was made by upcycling nine shipping containers and minimal Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC). Spread across two levels, the structure occupies an area of 4,800 sq. feet and was built in about 11 months in November 2019. Apart from shipping containers, other sustainable materials were used in the interiors.

That meant using more biodegradable materials along with emulating nature's processes and ecosystems," he says.

Through these subjects, he learnt about the use of shipping containers and biodegradable materials like bamboo.
