What is the Abbreviation for Container House

Container houses are abbreviated as container homes or box-type houses. Here is a detailed introduction to container houses:

Definition and Composition

A container house is a residential or office building form that uses containers as the basic structural modules and is transformed through modification. It has doors, windows, and complete indoor facilities, fully meeting people's requirements for living or working. There are two main ways of composition: one is directly transformed from shipping containers; the other is produced in factories through structural design. The top and bottom are made according to the dimensions of containers, and the top and bottom are connected by columns with excellent load-bearing capacity to form a frame. Then, color-steel sandwich panels are used as walls for combination. The second method is more common.
