“Qubix” is Egypt’s first service to turn shipping containers into fully customised structural spaces to meet people’s requirements. After deciding to establish the business in Egypt, Rafala travelled to Container City, East London, where he studied “cargotecture”—turning the metal containers into a residential place. For six months after moving back to Egypt, both Rafla and Farag worked on improving the containers in order to fit in Egypt’s atmosphere. After delivering their first bowery container, one project followed the other, before both partners found themselves establishing the first cargotecture company in Egypt. “Egypt will never stop importing shipments of different products and if there’s one common thing between all of them, it is that they are all brought in in containers,” Rafla explained.
