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.
