Prefabricated Hui-style House

The prefabricated Hui-style house is a new architectural form that combines traditional Hui-style architectural features with modern prefabricated building technology, boasting excellent performance in terms of safety, comfort, speed, and environmental friendliness. The following provides an introduction from two aspects: examples and characteristics.

Examples:

• Hongning River Hui-style Prefabricated Building Complex: Located on the west bank of the Hongning River in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, this complex has a total construction area of 3,280 square meters. It was built by Elephant Housing using a cold-formed thin-walled steel prefabricated building system and was completed in 2013. The complex features a mix of single-story and multi-story buildings with a light and simple design, and a soft and aesthetically pleasing spatial outline. Its light steel structure is designed to withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 9 and winds up to force 12. By employing factory production and modular assembly techniques, the construction period was significantly shortened, allowing for delivery within 30 days.
• HUIHouse: This is a work presented by Hefei University of Technology in collaboration with the University of Lille, France, at the China International Solar Decathlon. The main structure of the building adopts a prefabricated steel structure, while the enclosure walls use low-energy cold-formed steel-reinforced lightweight polymer composite panels, achieving integration of load-bearing, insulation, and decoration functions. The roof features an innovative photovoltaic dark tile that combines power generation and heat collection, and integrates multiple new technologies such as digital design, intelligent construction, and smart home systems, blending modern techniques with traditional Hui culture. This work achieves industrialized construction of prefabricated components and rapid on-site assembly of the structure, providing a livable environment and using low-carbon and environmentally friendly materials.
• Chaohu Hui-style Courtyard Light Steel Villa: Provided by Congmei Prefabricated Building Light Steel House Villas (Chaohu Branch), these villas are priced at 550 yuan per square meter, with a total supply of 867 units and free nationwide shipping. The villas are constructed using stainless high-strength materials, with earthquake resistance up to magnitude 9 and wind resistance up to force 12. The construction period is 30 days, and the villa's lifespan is 100 years. The structural panels are 12mm thick, and the studs are 0.8-1.0mm thick, suitable for various applications including residential, office, and agritourism uses.

Characteristics:

• High Safety: Light steel structures and other materials are often used, providing strong earthquake and wind resistance. As seen in the examples above, many can withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 9 and winds up to force 12.
• Fast Construction: By utilizing factory production and modular assembly techniques, the construction period is greatly shortened, with some buildings being deliverable within 30 days.
• Environmentally Friendly and Livable: The materials used are low-carbon and environmentally friendly, providing a comfortable living environment. Additionally, the integration of multiple new technologies enhances the quality of living.
