Lego Lunch, a planned fast food restaurant for Siauliai, Lithuania, will be built using recycled shipping containers to create a modular and replicable structure. Each module is independent, can be easily reproduced, and has a specific function attached to it, which helps to reduce costs.
The building faces south to take advantage of the natural light and heat provided by the sun. However, because the building is in a cold climate, an LED lighting system and insulation are included in the renovated containers.

The containers act as the load-bearing structures but will be highlighted with wood and glass. A wooden trellis is placed on top of all of the containers and creates an awning in a space between two of the containers, under which customers can sit and relax. The stairs and the platforms surrounding the outside of the containers are made of wood and metal. Wood is also used on the interior walls of the containers. Glass windows create a bright, natural-light filled interior with views of the surrounding landscape.

Hermann Kamte & Associates, the project’s architect, describes the structure as “serviceable, marketable, economical, sustainable, and ecological.”

‘Safe bathroom’ technology developed by a Massachusetts electrician has been proven to prevent fatal drug overdoses in public restrooms across the country. The systems use ultrasonic and infrared motion sensors connected to timers that detect slight body movements. When a system doesn’t sense motion within a set time period, it raises an alarm alerting emergency medical teams.
