Custom Design of Container Houses

The custom design of container houses requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as structural performance, installation efficiency, scenario adaptability, thermal performance, spatial functional zoning, and aesthetic creativity.

I. Structural Performance

• Material Selection: Prioritize the use of high-strength weather-resistant steel, such as Grade Q355B, which offers approximately 30% higher yield strength than ordinary carbon steel, enabling the formation of a stable self-balancing system and reducing material usage.
• Frame Design: All-steel structural frames exhibit strong resistance to deformation, making them suitable for frequent lifting and relocation. For example, the packing-box units produced by Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. utilize an all-steel frame, achieving a measured wind resistance rating of Level 12 and an earthquake resistance rating of Level 8, with a frame deformation rate of only 0.18%.
• Connection Nodes: Adopt a dual-fixation mode of 'wedge-shaped lock + high-strength bolts' to enhance earthquake adaptability. For instance, Yiqi Company introduced this mode at the connection points of its container bodies, controlling displacement to within 3 millimeters during shaking table tests simulating a rare earthquake of magnitude 8.

II. Installation Efficiency and Layout Flexibility

• Installation Cycle: Select products with high installation efficiency based on scenario requirements. For example, the quick-assembly containers from Suzhou Zhongnan can be installed in just 2 hours per unit, supporting on-demand splicing and combination, suitable for engineering camp scenarios requiring rapid delivery.
• Layout Adjustment: Consider the layout adjustment capabilities of the products. For instance, the packing-box units from Suzhou Zhongnan come pre-installed with interiors and facilities before leaving the factory, allowing for immediate use upon on-site lifting, suitable for long-term on-site projects.

III. Thermal Performance and Residential Comfort

• Envelope Structure: Adopt a composite construction to improve thermal insulation performance. For example, a three-layer composite construction of 'rock wool-air layer-aluminized zinc plate' limits the thermal conductivity coefficient to below 0.040 W/(m·K), reducing condensation risks.
• Ventilation and Sealing: Pay attention to the airtightness treatment of door and window sealing strips and joints to prevent local condensation.

IV. Spatial Functional Zoning and Creative Design

• Functional Overlap: Rationally plan the space within fixed-size container bodies, such as forming a wet area with the kitchen and bathroom, and achieving diurnal functional switching in the living and sleeping areas through furniture variability.
• Creative Elements: Incorporate elements such as glass curtain walls, wood grain finishes, and irregular structures to enhance visual effects, suitable for brand exhibitions, cultural and creative parks, and other scenarios.
