NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — UNCONTAINED, a leader in innovative container architecture, announced the successful completion of a groundbreaking project in the heart of Times Square: the Buchette del Vino structure. The custom build transformed two high-cube shipping containers into a fully mobile, premium commercial space—marking a first-of-its-kind installation in one of the world’s most demanding urban environments.
The centerpiece challenge? Mobility. The structure had to be designed so it could be fully detached and removed from its Times Square location once a year. Despite the engineering and logistical complexity, UNCONTAINED completed the entire design, fabrication, and on-site installation in just eight weeks.
Custom-engineered features included:
- Foldable, lockable stone-shelved awnings
- Full commercial kitchen capabilities
- Oversized electrical infrastructure
- Intricately shaped, custom wine windows
Working hand-in-hand with architects, electricians, general contractors, and brand designers, UNCONTAINED delivered a polished, high-end finish that reflected the sophistication of Buchette del Vino while solving for the unique challenges of Times Square’s steep site grade, weatherproofing demands, and strict safety codes.
“This project pushed the boundaries of what container architecture can achieve,” said Ryan Rupp, General Manager of UNCONTAINED. “We combined engineering precision with design innovation to deliver a mobile, one-of-a-kind landmark in one of the world’s most iconic locations.”
The final result balances durability with mobility, giving Buchette del Vino a premium, custom-built presence in Times Square that stands out as both functional and visionary.
