Villa Container House Specifications

There is no unified and fixed specification diagram for villa container houses. The common specifications and design points are as follows:

Common Specifications

• Single Container Specifications: Common shipping containers come in two standard sizes: 20-foot and 40-foot. The external dimensions of a 20-foot container are generally 6058mm in length, 2438mm in width, and 2591mm in height. The external dimensions of a 40-foot container are typically 12192mm in length, 2438mm in width, and 2591mm in height. However, in villa renovations, non-standard size containers are also used, which can be customized according to actual needs.
• Combined Specifications: When multiple containers are combined, the specifications vary widely. For example, when two 12-meter (40-foot) containers are joined together, the house can have a width of 12 meters and a depth of 4.9 meters. There are also cases where three containers are used to build a light luxury villa of about 45 square meters. Additionally, a 40-foot container can be combined with a 20-foot container to form a villa with a specific layout.

Design Points

• Space Expansion: Expand the space through reasonable design, such as adding an open-air balcony on the top. For example, the 12-meter container villa built by two sisters has an open-air balcony on the top, and the surrounding area is designed as an outdoor leisure space. Some container villas adopt a stacking method, such as stacking three containers to form a two-story villa to increase the usable area.
• Functional Zoning: Although container space is limited, reasonable planning can achieve comprehensive functionality. For example, a 45-square-meter villa built with three containers has an open living room, a delicate and simple dining area, and a fully functional kitchen area. The small space of the H container villa has two bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
• Appearance and Decoration: Externally, anti-corrosion treatment can be carried out on the container, and heat-insulating and corrosion-resistant coatings can be sprayed. It can be paired with wooden and black wrought iron frames to create a modern and warm visual effect. The interior decoration is simple and bright, with simple furniture and reasonable arrangement of smart devices, such as the installation of smart TVs.
