Multi-Level Container Bar and Entertainment Venue
WonderLove transformed stacked shipping containers into a multi-level hospitality destination in Portland, Oregon, combining a bar, food carts, indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and a rooftop deck.
The structure needed to support heavy public use, connect several levels safely, and feel like one complete venue rather than separate containers placed together.
Client’s Request
The project required a custom hospitality space capable of:
• Supporting bar and food-service operations
• Creating indoor and outdoor gathering areas
• Connecting multiple occupied levels
• Adding balconies, walkways, and rooftop space
• Bringing natural light into the enclosed areas
• Fitting within an active urban site
• Creating a strong, recognizable visual identity
The final structure needed to work as both a commercial venue and part of the customer experience.
The Conexwest Solution
Conexwest helped create a stacked, multi-level container structure supported by exterior steel framing and connected through stairs, walkways, and balconies.
The finished build included:
• Stacked shipping container configuration
• Ground-floor hospitality space
• Upper-level lounge or event area
• Large storefront glass openings
• Exterior steel stair system
• Elevated walkways and balconies
• Full rooftop gathering deck
• Perimeter guardrails
• Decorative string lighting
• Custom yellow and dark-gray exterior finishes
Results & Benefits
The completed venue turned a compact urban footprint into a multi-level bar, entertainment space, and rooftop destination that supports food, drinks, events, and community gathering. Portland, Oregon
