Container Renovated House 7
Container renovated houses are an innovative, eco-friendly, and cost-effective form of architecture that can meet diverse living needs through rational design and renovation.
Design Flexibility and Creativity: Container renovated houses can be designed in various shapes according to personal needs, with the ability to pursue fashionable aesthetics in color and even be made into graffiti forms. For example, a Danish guy used nine containers to renovate a family residence, decorating various parts of the house and designing numerous large windows to provide natural light. There is also a mountain resort hotel built with containers, situated on a hill according to the terrain, with a courtyard formed between two blocks and large floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms.
Space Utilization and Function Realization: Despite their limited area and cramped space, container renovated houses can achieve multiple functions through rational design. For instance, a couple renovated two used containers totaling 30 square meters into a fully functional home, equipped with a hydraulic deck that can be extended to increase activity space. In Container 1, furniture can be stored in the walls, and lowering the bed platform creates a double bed, along with a kitchen and bathroom. A foreigner renovated a 15-square-meter container into a mini home with a transformable open design, where the bedroom bed can be folded, serving as a sofa during the day and a double bed at night.
Environmental Protection and Sustainability: Container renovated houses are a green modular form of architecture that can be recycled, aligning with the concept of sustainable living. For example, the "Sustainable Living Lab" used six containers to construct a modular residence, applying green, healthy, and low-carbon concepts to daily life scenarios.
Cost and Construction Period: Container renovated houses have relatively low costs and short construction periods. For example, a foreigner spent less than 110,000 yuan to renovate a 15-square-meter container mini home. A six-container modular house has a base price of 180,000 yuan, with renovation, transportation, and installation costs of 38,000 yuan, totaling 218,000 yuan. Moreover, containers have the characteristic of rapid assembly, allowing for easy relocation when needed, and their modular structure facilitates expansion.
