The Mirabeau B. Sales Center, designed by Metalab, was to open Tuesday Sept. 2, offering a model for the sustainability of the condos. “The thinking involved is how we want people to see Mirabeau B.,” Romano said. Constructed out of repurposed shipping containers, the sales center demonstrates the concept of “upcycling, having things that improve as their life goes on rather than get reduced as they get moved on,” Romano said. Solar panels on the roof can fold shut at night or during bad weather, said Andrew Vrana from Metalab. “We would like to further develop this as a solution,” he said. “People could have one of these made and put in their backyard and supplement their energy with solar power.”
