People's Architecture Office has used 12 shipping containers to build a temporary, red and yellow pavilion in a fast-growing town in China's Shanxi province (+ slideshow).

The Beijing-based architecture studio stacked up containers into two rows with opposing angles to create a building that boasts zigzagging edges, projecting roof terraces and cantilevered overhangs.

Called Container Stack Pavilion, the structure is painted bright red on the lower level, while its upper tier is finished in a vibrant shade of yellow, helping it to stand out from its setting.

People's Architecture Office designed the building for Taiyuan, a town that was recently connected to Beijing by high-speed rail, and that is set to get a new metro in 2020.

It provides an office and showroom for local property developer Eastern Heights Real Estate.
