Second-Floor Size Diagram of Container Houses

Admin September 17, 2026

Currently, publicly available information does not provide a complete second-floor size diagram for container houses, but it does offer second-floor size data from some typical cases for reference. Specific layered drawings need to be obtained from suppliers.

1. Guangzhou Jin Ge Company's Duplex Container House
This case uses three 40-foot containers spliced together, with the overall second-floor size being 11.8 meters (length) × 6.75 meters (width) × 2.8 meters (height), providing a usable area of 80 square meters. Its design achieves a large-span space by horizontally splicing containers. The second-floor height of 2.8 meters meets conventional residential needs, but the specific sizes of layered functional areas (such as bedrooms and living rooms) are not specified. For layered drawings, it is necessary to directly contact the company to obtain technical documents.

2. Beijing Minghao Yutian Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.'s Second-Floor Container
This case is a single two-story structure with dimensions of 3 meters (length) × 7.2 meters (width) × 2.72 meters (height), including a canopy and an iron sheet welding platform. Its width of 7.2 meters may be achieved by vertically splicing two containers, but with a length of only 3 meters, it is speculated to be a narrow-side layout or customized design. The height of 2.72 meters is slightly lower than the conventional standard, possibly due to the canopy structure compressing the indoor clear height. Similarly, specific layered drawings need to be obtained from the supplier.

3. Limitations of Other Cases

  • A two-story container house in the suburbs of Texas has a total area of 44 square meters, but no layered sizes are provided, only described as a 'two-story structure,' making it unsuitable as a size reference.
  • The container 3×6 house design mentions the possibility of a second floor but emphasizes the need for customization based on factory equipment capabilities. No specific sizes or drawings are given, only stating that the basic module is 3 meters × 6 meters, and the second-floor layout needs to be designed according to functional requirements.

4. Suggestions for Obtaining Detailed Drawings
If precise second-floor size diagrams or structural descriptions are required, it is recommended to directly contact the aforementioned suppliers (such as Guangzhou Jin Ge and Beijing Minghao Yutian) and provide the following information to obtain customized technical documents:

  • Usage scenario (residential, office, etc.);
  • Required functional areas (bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.);
  • Local building code requirements for floor height and load-bearing capacity.

Summary: Among the existing cases, there are significant differences in second-floor sizes, necessitating the selection of splicing methods or customized solutions based on specific design requirements. Publicly available information can only provide overall size references, and detailed layered drawings need to be obtained from suppliers.
