Interior Facilities of Container Houses for Nagoya Asian Games

The interior facilities of the container houses used in the Nagoya Asian Games are primarily functional, catering to basic living needs, but with a relatively compact spatial design. The specific configurations are as follows:

1. Living Space and Bed Configuration
Each unit consists of two households, with each household planned as a two-bedroom, one-living-room structure, accommodating three people. The beds in the rooms are all single beds, measuring 195 cm in length and 90 cm in width, with luggage storage space reserved beneath the beds. For taller athletes, extendable mattresses are provided to meet their needs. However, the space between the two beds in double-bed rooms only allows for a walkway for one person to stand, making the space quite narrow; the overall height of the container houses is relatively low, which may result in a sense of crowding and oppression during occupancy.

2. Bathroom and Changing Facilities
Each household is independently equipped with one toilet, one bathroom, and a changing room, meeting basic hygiene needs. The separate design of the bathroom and toilet enhances convenience of use, but due to the limited volume of the container, the internal space may be relatively compact, requiring reasonable planning of movement paths to avoid conflicts.

3. Common Area and Appliance Configuration
The living room area is equipped with a refrigerator, a sink, and one washing machine, providing basic cooking and cleaning functions. However, the number of appliances is limited; for example, only one washing machine is provided, which may require coordination of usage times. Additionally, only one air conditioner is installed in the two-bedroom, one-living-room unit. If the room doors are closed, the indoor temperature may rise, affecting comfort, necessitating adjustments in ventilation or the use of auxiliary cooling equipment to alleviate the issue.

4. Decoration and Material Selection
The entire house adopts wooden decoration, creating a warm atmosphere while potentially enhancing sound insulation. However, wooden materials require attention to moisture-proof maintenance in humid environments. The overall design is oriented towards practicality, without excessive pursuit of decorative elements, aligning with the positioning of temporary accommodation.

5. Summary of Spatial Limitations
Due to the inherent structural limitations of container houses, the internal space is restricted in both height and width, resulting in a relatively compact living experience. For example, issues such as narrow walkways in double-bed rooms and insufficient air conditioning coverage require users to optimize their experience by adapting or adjusting their usage habits. Such designs, while ensuring basic functionality, are more suitable for short-term event accommodation scenarios.
