Petti Restaurant, Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, India, 

Petti restaurantstands along a narrow site in Tuticorin, India, a place where maritime trade has left behind a steady accumulation of discarded shipping containers. 

The project takes this surplus as its starting point, assembling a 200-seat dining space from elements that once moved goods across oceans, now fixed in place and reoriented toward habitation.

The containers are suspended vertically rather than laid flat, a decision that shifts their proportions and creates lofty interior spaces. Twelve units were lifted into position within a week and welded into a continuous structural frame, with reinforced slabs inserted at key levels. The building reads as a sequence of thickened towers, each one wrapped in a porous facade of poured earth that extends downward to meet the ground in a gentle curve.
