Zunyi Container House Design
The design of container houses in Zunyi needs to comprehensively consider functional requirements, structural safety, space utilization, and aesthetics, and carry out customized design in combination with the service capabilities of local suppliers. Here are the specific design points and local resource references:

1. Structural Safety and Material Selection
Container houses are based on steel boxes and need to ensure earthquake resistance and deformation resistance. Local suppliers in Zunyi, such as Guizhou Caikang Prefabricated Buildings, offer over 10 years of professional design and installation services. They use low-alloy high-strength structural steel, with a plate thickness of up to 2285mm (for some models), steel grade Q195, and a steel usage of 9050kg per square meter, which can meet the usage range of super high-rise buildings and ensure structural stability. During the design process, it is necessary to select the box specifications according to the purpose (e.g., a 20-foot container can bear a load of 25T, and a 40-foot container can bear a load of 45T) and expand the space through box combination.
2. Space Layout and Functional Zoning
The net space inside containers is limited, so adaptive combination design is required to optimize the layout. For example:
- Residential Function: Adopt a staggered design of double-layer boxes to create a terrace, increasing lighting and ventilation; divide the interior into areas such as a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. For example, a 120㎡ container house achieves functional zoning through the combination of four 30㎡ boxes.
- Office Function: Utilize the modular characteristics of containers to divide spaces such as conference rooms, dormitories, and kitchens. The standard width is 2.4 meters, the height is 2.2 meters, and the length is adjustable from 4 to 12 meters.
- Sound Insulation Treatment: Avoid the wooden board resonance problem of movable panel houses by using steel, cement, and tile composite floors (with a thickness of ≥20cm) to improve sound insulation.
3. Aesthetics and Personalized Design
- Exterior Renovation: Enhance visual impact through painting and material matching, such as a black smooth paint exterior paired with a natural wood interior, or large areas of glass to increase transparency.
- Detail Design: Use suspended washbasins, simple light strips, and custom furniture made of birch plywood to balance practicality and aesthetics; for附属 structures (affiliated structures) such as terraces and stairs, metal materials can be selected and decorative strips added to improve safety and recognition.
4. Local Supplier Service Capabilities
Local suppliers in Zunyi offer a variety of services:
- Guizhou Caikang: Sells containers, movable panel houses, light steel villas, etc., supports services throughout Zunyi, and provides factory-direct sales and installation services.
- Yihang Containers: Served 5155 people in the past year and supports the customization of movable houses and the design and installation of container houses.
- Guiyang Baolilai: Mainly sells residential containers and provides steel structure and membrane structure design services. It ships from Guiyang and can complete delivery within 7 days.
5. Cost and Sustainability
The renovation cost of container houses is relatively low. For example, the total cost of a 15㎡ case deep in the forest is less than 110,000 yuan; the modular design supports rapid assembly and relocation, which is in line with the concept of sustainable living and is suitable for temporary buildings on non-construction land.
