Combined and Expanded Specifications

• Container houses can be designed through adaptive combinations of container bodies to create a wider variety of buildings. For example, by assembling multiple containers vertically and horizontally, buildings with different numbers of floors, such as two-story and three-story structures, can be formed, creating larger usable spaces. Some small-scale homestay hotels are composed of four 6-meter-long containers, with two on the lower level and two on the upper level. The lower level is equipped with sanitary facilities, a technical room, a storage room, and a four-bed guest room, while the upper level has four guest rooms sharing a common terrace.
• There are also expandable container houses. The combined dimensions are 363m (width, length, height), and the expanded dimensions are 5.563m (width, length, height). The indoor area expands from 18 square meters to 33 square meters, meeting the living space requirements of different groups of people, whether they are single individuals or families.
