Container Villa House Design Drawings

Here are some design highlights and case references for container villa houses:

Floating House Container Residence

This residence is constructed using recycled shipping containers, elevated and suspended above the native forest. The building is lifted above the natural ground level, surrounded by trees, with windows at the same height as the tree canopies after elevation. The balconies interweave among the branches, preserving the original landscape with minimal concrete used for the foundation. In terms of materials, 80% are recycled, with interior walls and ceilings made of reclaimed wood, a green roof with rainwater harvesting, and excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The support system employs metal columns and V-shaped structures, reducing concrete usage and foundation area, with a shallow foundation form. Two wooden platform balconies provide interactive spaces with the trees, offering views of the countryside.

Melbourne Container Villa

Built from three containers, it has undergone two renovations, transforming from a straightforward two-story stack to a staggered arrangement. The front and back of the containers feature high-strength glass walls, allowing sunlight to penetrate the interior. Inspired by the courtyard trees, the designer created circular openings in the roof for tree growth. The interior uses white as the base color, with dark wooden strips creating curved walls and freely opening partitions. A work area is set up by the window, the gaps between containers are converted into walkways, and the dining, kitchen, and resting areas are open-plan. The white staircase is made of perforated metal plates.

Costa Rican Container Mini Mansion

Constructed by joining two containers, the living room, dining room, and kitchen are open-plan, with two bedrooms and a bathroom featuring a bathtub. It uses a pile foundation, with containers elevated on piles without touching the ground, providing moisture and thermal insulation. Upon completion, it features large floor-to-ceiling windows and a skylight on the roof, ensuring good natural light. The glass used is triple-glazed for excellent insulation. The walls, roof, and floor, except for the glass parts, are insulated according to the local climate. The bathroom has a bathtub, and the roof is equipped with a solar photovoltaic power generation system for self-sufficiency in electricity.

Brazilian Casa Container Residence

Transformed from two adjacent 12-meter-long containers, it is covered externally with white Dekton corrugated metal structures made of quartz, porcelain, and glass, offering excellent UV and heat resistance. Large glass walls and doorways are added inside to introduce natural light, with Chinese bamboo planted in the external courtyard. The windows on the sunny side feature a cross-style design with slender white Dekton blinds covering the glass walls. The two containers serve as spaces for the living room, dining room, and a bedroom with a private bathroom.
