Container House with Terrace Homestay

There are cases of container houses with terraces as homestays in Ningbo by the sea and Dalian Ant Island. Here are the specific introductions:

Ningbo Seaside Container Homestay
This homestay uses container houses as the main building structure, achieving rapid construction and flexible layout through modular design. Its terrace adopts an upper-and-lower steel structure design. The upper terrace can serve as an observation deck, while the lower terrace combines leisure and storage functions. The advantages of the steel terrace lie in its high strength and strong corrosion resistance, enabling it to adapt to the humid seaside environment. Meanwhile, reasonable load-bearing design ensures safety. The connection between the terrace and the container body usually employs welding or bolt-fixing techniques to ensure structural stability. In addition, the terrace floor may be paved with anti-corrosion wood or non-slip tiles, enhancing both aesthetics and practicality. The terrace design of this homestay focuses on integrating with the surrounding natural landscape, such as setting up outdoor seats and parasols, providing tourists with a comfortable sea-viewing experience.

Dalian Ant Island Container House
The container houses on Dalian Ant Island are known as "internet-famous models", and their terrace designs are also distinctive. The terrace is connected to the container body through a steel structure, forming an open space, and the floor-to-ceiling windows face the sea, achieving seamless integration of indoor and outdoor landscapes. This design not only expands the usable area but also introduces natural light through large glass windows, enhancing indoor transparency. The terrace may be equipped with an outdoor barbecue area, leisure lounge chairs, or a small swimming pool to meet the diverse needs of tourists. Its steel terrace usually adopts a lightweight design, balancing strength and aesthetics, while extending its service life through anti-corrosion treatment. In addition, protective railings may be installed at the edge of the terrace to ensure tourist safety, especially in environments with strong sea breezes, where protective design is particularly important.

Common Design Features and Advantages
The terrace designs of both types of homestays embody the combination of functionality and landscape:

1. Structural Safety: Using steel structures or steel-wood hybrid structures to ensure the stability of the terrace in complex environments.
2. Space Expansion: Breaking through the internal space limitations of container houses through terrace design to provide more activity areas.
3. Landscape Integration: The location and orientation of the terraces are carefully planned to maximize the use of sea view resources and enhance the accommodation experience.
4. Durable Materials: Selecting anti-corrosion wood, non-slip tiles, or weather-resistant steel to adapt to harsh environments such as humidity and salt spray by the sea.

These designs provide references for the application of container houses in the homestay field, demonstrating the potential of modular architecture combined with natural landscapes.
