The future container house

Due to the rapid construction, strong sense of modernity and low cost, Container Building are widely used in resorts, offices and tourist camps. However, in the area of private housing, not only our rural self-built houses but also foreign country villas hardly adopt this building type. The main concerns are narrow space, poor insulation performance and inferior appearance.

However, with the development of the prefabricated buildings, the problems of heat preservation, space and water supply and drainage have already been solved. Solar photovoltaic power generation system and rainwater harvesting system make it available to build a house and live in the mountains and forests without municipal conditions.

Container building has the features of fast construction and good seismic performance, so it is suitable to act as villas or camps in the mountain or forest. Different thickness of the insulation layer can be chosen according to geographic location, the construction is generally built on stilts and has insulation processing in the wall and roof, so there is no problem in insulation performance in most areas. The big room space can be achieved by cutting, so there is no worry about interior space.

In the areas with limited conditions for the construction, container buildings can be taken as villas, homestay hotel, etc. And it is strongly recommended to adopt container building as distinctive hotels, because it needs rapid construction and is an attractive factor itself. In recent years, container houses are more noticed, as long as you have adequate space to place, it is worth a try.

Magic Rubik's cube transformation creates container office area

Originally a pure industrial base, the northern coast of Copenhagen has now been gradually transformed into a part of this growing city. During the renovation, although the original factories, shipping terminals and port terminals were idle, the development here is getting faster and faster.

The project is stacking the recycled containers, as experimental prefabricated components, to three layers, this solution challenged the widespread waste disposal problem and traditional construction techniques. The flexible and large-span space between container units is mainly used as offices, the indoor space can also provide second function, such as meeting rooms, studios and storage.

The high-performance insulation sandwich panels on the exterior of the container building help to protect the building from the harsh climate in Scandinavia. These sandwich panels are fastened directly to the container frame as windows, roofing elements and floors. Pipeline, wireway and other plumbing are all exposed, easy to install and disassemble.

From the container's 40-foot interior space to 120-foot-tall spaces between different units, the varied space experience and dimensions can be adapted to a variety of different usage functions. Staggered floors and large windows generate a sense of being as if working in a large family with different work groups in different parts of the building. In addition, the large floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that the sun shines in the deepest part of the building during the day, minimizing the use of lights.

Large-span flexible space between two containers is for office purpose.

The most environment-friendly super football stadium in the world

Qatar, the super-economy power, wants to show its strength to the world. The best way is to build a wide variety of luxurious buildings! Obviously, 2022 World Cup is a good "show off" opportunity for Qatar. Therefore, a variety of high-tech technology is applied into the football stadium.

The Qatar World Cup's seventh venue design has been announced- Las Abu Abed Stadium, designed by Fenwick Iribarren. Fixing the refitted containers on steel structures can realize quick assemble or disassemble of those containers and delivery of them to other sites for reuse after the World Cup game. This 40000-seat stadium is located on south-east of Doha, covering an area of 450,000m². The architecture near the water and can be divided into many container modular to echo the neighboring ports. Containers will be converted into stadium infrastructure including stairs, canteen and bathroom. Compared to traditional mode, modular constructions save materials, reduce waste and total carbon emissions and shorten the build time to three years. The goal for this stadium is to meet the four-star standard of the Global Sustainability Assessment System. Structural and civil engineering work will be led by Schlaich Bergermann Partner.

Although Las Abu Abed stadium is high-tech enough, Qatar doesn’t ignore the concept of environmental protection. The idea of container building is so amazing-containers being easily assembled or disassembled, damaged ones getting fastest repair and waste resource being recycled.

Culture Creating Park With Industrial Style

The 11st art park in Shenyang is a gathering place for many artists. Many people seldom know this place, because this place was a printery before. Several old steel structure workshops are transformed to become the recombination of the emerging industry. This is an integrated platform of culture and art, which is similar to a factory of Beijing 798. In Beijing 798, many studios, workshop, dining room are gathered. This place could bring the culture smell compared with expensive urban construction.

Anchor Culture Creating Park

Maximum Culture Creating Park In Shenyang. The occupation of land is 5000㎡ and area of structure is 8000㎡. This is the maximum culture creating park in Shenyang. This placed is transformed based on old steel structure workshop, which integrates catering, office, display, studio and etc. The park will keep the space as the sharing space of public art, creating the mobile house and container building as creative workshop. Then a lot of activities(exhibition and performance) will be hold in this place. The old factory will be changed into the culture creativity area, which has many industries such as entertainment, shopping, catering, shoe and etc. 

 

The Painting and Calligraphy Studio Transformed From Old Factory

In order to avoid the high rent in city life, the designer and artist used old steel frame construction workshop to create various spaces including living and working. The following unique art studio is transformed from steel frame construction workshop. The wide open space is created without interior wall. The impacted art between industrialization and postmodernism has evolved a fashionable living and working style.  

The studio is located in the center of Beijing, which used to be a large shack of factory, whose center is covered with a roof of steel structure. The artist requested that the room of traditional Chinese painting and the room of oil painting should be divided in order to create the atmosphere. The tea room and ink room are in the first floor. The living room and study are in the second floor. In this way, people could enjoy the view better. According to the requirements of artists, the roof made of color steel is designed ladder type. Large white wall surface is decided by Mr Xu to arrange his works. When the light pours into the house, all the works walk in the hall. You could feel the communication between building space and art. 

The transformation of the whole space is completed under the lower cost. The design of space, furniture and lamps use the material with cyclic regeneration, which also shows the core idea of traditional industry through the creative industry.  

Container Building-Tower For Overlooking Bay

In modern society, the building materials of commercial public buildings, steel structure workshop, modular construction house transformed from containers adopted by mobile house manufacturers includes steel construction, color steel, timber, brick wall. The building decorated with above building materials could better show the designing characteristics, which could shape the style and show the sense of history. The container building project is as follows:

This container building is located in the east coast of Tasmania. There are Demon Horn cellar, observatory, and the largest vineyard in island. The whole scene of Fressies peninsula could be obtained. From December in 2015, this container building built by Brown Brothers Winery is aimed to add to the new scene, creating the new travelling experience in coast. The observatory is the main components of designing. This observatory is not only the optical signal of building also the method of stating the area of origin. The scene could be felt as the wines are tasted. The three different space points to different angles of view- sky, horizon line, various view points and tower. 

The steel structure is the ideal material, because it could be pre-manufactured outside of the base. In this way, the construction time and easy transportation of steel construction become the largest advantage. The base and tower are made up of containers. The reason for choosing containers is that the changeable modular size, structural integrity, the inner mobility of rolled steel and remodeling capacity. There are 10 containers in total. Five containers are used in gazebo and the other five containers are used in the market area. 

The Aldine Container Villa

The container building, modular construction building, mobile house, steel construction building are the new concept of living. These buildings has come to our life. The container building is very suitable for people's living, with good advantages of environmental protection. The color steel building which is used by workers in construction site. This is very common. The container building transformed by used containers is very popular because of simple structure.

At present, most mobile home manufacturers improve the container building introducing the experience from advanced experience. Then the container villa could become a kind of high-end application. The container villa adopts many containers to create the whole structure. After coating, decorating and reasonable design, the container building would have the unique style. Compared with the light steel frame construction building, the container building has many advantages such as short construction time, standard manufacturing, modularization, competitive price, mobility, precautions and prevention against earthquake disasters and etc. 

The container building could be built with luxury style. The following is the case about luxury container building. The inner wall of containers could not be used as the wall of building. In order to realize the function of thermal insulation and sound insulation, it is necessary to decorate the container building. The container building could extend to the second floor through the reinforce of steel frame construction. If the floor boards are placed, you will not confirm that it is made up of containers. At the same time, the reliable steel frame construction applied in stairs is very important. Through the large window, you could see the swimming pool in the backyard. The container building's inner decoration could be designed with modern and technology style.
