Only Container Buildings Dare to Take You on a Spur-of-the-Moment Journey-Ehang Container House

As one of the youngest branches of structural building systems, container architecture serves a wide range of uses and comes in many types and forms. It is also a building approach that once again rides the wave of fashion—movable anytime, anywhere—bringing people a more convenient and comfortable way of life.

They do share one thing in common: the standard shipping container. Like Lego bricks, containers can be combined to create almost anything. They make ideal temporary buildings, public buildings, family homes, and other mixed-use structures.

Container buildings can draw indoor power from solar photovoltaic panels, while solar water heaters provide heating and hot water. Shower and domestic wastewater are purified by a sewage treatment system so they can be reused. Depending on occupancy, container homes can be built in different sizes.

Experts believe that when affordable housing is in short supply or buyers face restrictions, developing “habitable containers” may be an effective way to ease housing difficulties for lower-income groups in the future.

Our company invites you into another building system—container architecture.

Stacked Overlay is a small exhibition space remade from shipping containers. Through stacking, offsetting, and stretching, simple rectangular volumes are composed into varied, dynamic spaces. The upper and lower levels are staggered vertically: one end forms a cantilever, the other a terrace, creating richer functional zones. Where the two levels overlap, the floor slab is removed to form a through atrium that brings in natural light.

Each box is assembled on its own. Floor-to-ceiling glass at both ends breaks the closed feel of a container. Inside and out, the volumes are finished in red and yellow, standing out sharply against the gray urban backdrop. Original container units can be split, recombined, and regenerated into new spaces. Next to the expressway, Stacked Overlay stretches windows in different directions—looking out at the city while also revealing everything inside.
