Anshun Container House Design

The design of container houses in Anshun needs to comprehensively consider factors such as functional requirements, spatial layout, structural safety, and personalized customization. The following provides an explanation from aspects including design key points, case references, material selection, and construction processes:

I. Core Design Points

1. Spatial Planning and Functional Combination
   The design of container houses should determine functional divisions based on the usage scenario. For example, for residential purposes, 2-3 containers can be joined together to form areas such as a living room, bedroom, and bathroom. For commercial purposes (such as scenic area shops), a split-level design can be adopted, with an open space on the ground floor and a storage or office area on the upper floor. In a case in Anshun, a memorial hall container board house combined a 40㎡ and a 30㎡ container to realize functions such as a flower shop, cultural and creative product display, and beverage services.
2. Lighting and Thermal Insulation Optimization
   Guizhou has a humid climate, so it is necessary to focus on solving moisture-proofing and thermal insulation problems. In the design, a double-layer wall structure can be used, filled with rock wool or polyurethane sandwich panels inside, and covered with metal panels or calcium silicate boards outside. Windows should be made of triple-glazed thermal-break aluminum to improve lighting efficiency in combination with roof skylights. The foundation should be raised by 10-20cm to avoid moisture erosion.
3. Structural Safety and Rust Prevention Treatment
   The main body of a container is steel structure, so the cut and welded parts need to be treated with epoxy primer + topcoat for rust prevention. In coastal or humid areas, the anti-corrosion coating needs to be reapplied every 3-5 years. The residential containers provided by Guiyang Baolilai Company use low-alloy high-strength structural steel with a steel model of Q195 and a steel usage per square meter of up to 2236kg to ensure structural stability.

II. Typical Design Case References

1. “Container Residence” in São Paulo
   It is composed of two 40-foot containers placed side by side. The white minimalist design conceals industrial traces. Visual illusions are used indoors to expand the sense of space, and the facade is equipped with ultra-dense decorative sunshades to achieve a unity of function and aesthetics.
2. Reception Center of Orenda Tribe in Shanghai
   It is composed of 10 containers stacked in a staggered manner. Glass curtain walls and wooden decorations are used to break the industrial feel. An open public activity space is left on the ground floor to solve the ventilation and lighting problems of the narrow site.

III. Materials and Construction Processes

1. Material Selection
   • Structure: Hot-dip galvanized cold-formed steel frame, with better rust prevention performance than ordinary steel.
   • Wall: Rock wool/glass wool sandwich panels (fire rating Class A), or light steel keels filled with thermal insulation materials.
   • Floor: Cement fiber board or steel-wood composite floor, suitable for long-term use requirements.
2. Construction Process
   Prefabricate the steel structure frame, wall panels, and water and electricity pipelines in the factory → hoist and assemble them on site → use sealant to treat the doors, windows, and joint seams → install interior decorations and furniture. Jinhua Xin'an Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. provides one-stop services of design, production, and installation, which can shorten the construction period by more than 30%.

IV. Compliance Requirements
When using container houses in Anshun, the following should be noted:

• For rural homesteads, building approval needs to be obtained, and structural drawings should be provided.
• Leased land is only for temporary use, and the contract should clearly state the purpose.
• Construction on cultivated land and basic farmland is prohibited, and construction on forest land requires approval from the forestry department.
