Container House Design Around Erhai Lake in Dali
Near Erhai Lake in Dali, it is common to see designs where multiple standard containers are horizontally spliced. For example, three containers are horizontally spliced together, and large floor-to-ceiling windows are installed to bring the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake into the interior, achieving a natural integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. In terms of decorative style, elements characteristic of the Bai ethnic group are incorporated, such as mixing Bai-style tie-dye fabric curtains with solid wood furniture to create a unique ethnic ambiance. At the same time, attention is paid to the creation of outdoor spaces. An aerial garden is set up on the roof, old tires are repurposed into flower pots filled with bougainvillea to add a natural touch, and a leisure area can be arranged on a platform paved with solar panels for guests to enjoy the sunset.

At the same time, to enhance the accommodation experience, a starry sky ceiling is installed in each room, allowing guests to admire the starry sky at night and adding a romantic atmosphere.

When adopting container house designs for art cafes in Lijiang Ancient City and scenic inns in Shangri-La, emphasis is placed on the deep integration of ethnic elements with modern design. Some wrap the container bodies with bamboo weaving techniques, reflecting local traditional craftsmanship and adding texture to the buildings. Some paint Dongba cultural totems on the walls to showcase unique ethnic cultural connotations. Others introduce courtyards into the interior, forming an 'aerial courtyard house' and creating a unique spatial experience.
Other Common Container House Designs
Double-story container vacation villas by the lake usually feature a fresh and natural appearance, mimicking the design of modern villas with clean lines, large floor-to-ceiling windows, or terraces to enhance the permeability between the interior and exterior. The interior adopts an open design paired with a modern and minimalist decorative style, such as white walls and modern-style furniture. The outdoor space is equipped with spacious terraces or balconies, private gardens, or leisure areas to meet people's needs for relaxation and entertainment. L-shaped double-story black container vacation homestays use a deep black as the main color for the exterior, creating a unique appearance through a Tetris-like arrangement. The interior adopts a spacious and bright open design, with black as the base color combined with bright colors or unique decorative elements, utilizing the structural characteristics of containers to create distinctive staircases, personalized furniture, or decorations.
