Renovation Cases

• Four-bedroom, One-living-room Two-story Residence: A couple spent two thousand dollars to purchase two containers with a 10-year history. After four years of renovation, they built a spacious two-story residence with four bedrooms, one living room, and luxurious decoration. This renovation fully utilized the space of the containers and created a house that met the family's living needs through reasonable planning and design.
• Three-bedroom, One-living-room Luxury Bungalow: Another couple transformed two containers into a three-bedroom, one-living-room luxury bungalow. Although it is not strictly a two-story house, it still has reference value in terms of space utilization and decoration design. They carefully designed the aisles, walls, and other parts to make the entire house both spacious and comfortable.
• Hundred-square-meter Mansion: Another couple transformed containers into a hundred-square-meter mansion. This renovation was on a larger scale and involved more steps and details. They not only installed a new room foundation but also laid wooden boards, assembled wall frames, etc., ultimately creating a mansion with complete functions and a beautiful appearance.

Renovation Steps

• Foundation Preparation: This includes laying a cement foundation to provide a stable base for the entire house; installing a new room foundation (such as when renovating a mansion) to ensure a firm connection between the newly added part and the original container structure.
• Structural Construction: Perform operations such as roof grinding, installing corner brackets, and adding a roof to enhance the stability and waterproofness of the roof; build load-bearing beams to provide support for the two-story structure; make wall frames to determine the basic outline of the house.
• Wall and Roof Treatment: Install waterproof boards to improve the waterproof performance of the house; cut off part of the top frame to make the roof outer frame and eaves, making the roof shape more beautiful and practical.
• Detail Refinement: For example, when building a patio, including installing foundation frames, laying wooden boards, making stairs, etc., to increase the functionality and leisure space of the house.
