Design Drawings of Temporary Container Houses
Currently, there are no directly available design drawings for temporary container houses, but you can refer to the following design case directions to conceive design drawings for temporary container houses:
Modular Combination Design
Modular combination is a common and practical approach in the design of temporary container houses. For example, a mountain resort hotel abroad is constructed from a combination of six containers. During the design process, topographical factors were fully considered, and a courtyard was naturally formed between two blocks. This design not only increases the flexibility of space usage but also provides an outdoor leisure area for occupants. The rooms are equipped with large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow ample natural light to enter, enabling the indoor and outdoor spaces to blend together and enhancing the comfort of living. The interior decoration is similar to that of a residential house, with a reshaped roof that breaks away from the originally monotonous appearance of the container, making it more aesthetically pleasing and unique. This design is suitable for temporary venues that require rapid construction and have certain space requirements, such as temporary hotels and resorts in tourist attractions.
Personalized Renovation Design
Personalized renovation can make temporary container houses more distinctive and cozy. Take the renovation by Kenneth, an American homeowner, as an example. Based on a 16.6㎡ steel container, he carried out a comprehensive renovation. The outer frame retains the container structure, with wooden veneers installed both inside and outside. The outer layer uses cedar boards, which not only enhance the texture of the house but also provide some insulation and decorative effects. The iron door was removed and replaced with a four-layer tempered glass sliding door, which not only improves the lighting effect but also makes the indoor and outdoor spaces more transparent. Insulation materials are added inside to ensure a comfortable indoor temperature under various climatic conditions. Decorated with white wooden veneers and wooden floors, a cozy living atmosphere is created. Thoughtful designs such as self-illuminating eaves and small-area porches are also added, increasing the functionality and aesthetics of the house. The interior layout is reasonable, with all the necessary facilities in a small space, including custom-made sofas, wall beds, a kitchen, an office area, a bathroom, and a dining area, meeting the various living needs of occupants. This design is suitable for personal residences or small temporary office spaces.
Creative Stacking Design
Creative stacking design can fully leverage the characteristics of containers to create unique architectural forms. Architects can stack containers without limitation in their designs. Containers have a fixed width but variable lengths, and can be customized by cutting or removing one or two side walls. They can also be treated, sealed, and insulated, and their appearance can be enhanced through painting or cladding. For example, the office building designed by Distill Studio is composed of 32 containers, including 12 offices and a cantilevered conference room. It features high-performance insulation, energy-efficient climate control, and a colorful and lively appearance, meeting both functional requirements for office use and having a unique visual effect. The "Periscope Project" by ENS_projects in the United States consists of five intermodal containers forming a single unit. The linear and parallel arrangement defines an outdoor courtyard and a second-floor platform, with exposed areas used as auxiliary activity spaces, allowing natural light and ventilation to penetrate the building and providing a comfortable user experience for occupants. This design is suitable for large-scale temporary construction projects, such as temporary exhibition halls and large event venues.
