Container House Construction Drawing

The construction of container houses requires comprehensive consideration of design planning, structural modification, functional facilities, and decoration. Here are the specific construction points:

I. Design Planning

• Clarify Requirements: Determine the scale and layout of the house based on the number of occupants and functional needs (such as bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms). For example, a container house for a family of four in a Jiangsu town has a well-planned interior space that provides comfortable living despite its limited area.
• Site Measurement: Measure the available area of the homestead, the distance from neighbors, the dimensions, height, and structural form of existing houses, understand the allowable building height along the street, the traffic conditions in front and behind, and the location of road control red lines, and inquire about the locations of water and power supplies.
• Style Positioning: Determine the architectural style based on personal preferences and environmental characteristics, such as modern simplicity or pastoral freshness. For example, the green cottage of a single man in Xiaoshan features a combination of natural wood furniture and white home decor, giving it a fresh and cozy feel.

II. Structural Modification

• Container Combination: Combine containers according to design requirements to create different architectural forms. Space can be increased by stacking containers vertically or horizontally. For example, a small guesthouse is composed of four 6-meter-long containers, with two on the bottom and two on top.
• Space Expansion: Open up containers, cut and splice them to increase interior height and span, meeting different functional needs. For example, some container villas cut and splice containers to achieve a loft-style living room design.
• Reinforcement: Reinforce containers to ensure structural safety and stability. For example, in areas prone to tornadoes, containers can be reinforced with steel pipes and welded, with panels embedded in the foundation.

III. Functional Facilities

• Thermal Insulation and Waterproofing: Provide thermal insulation and waterproofing treatments similar to conventional houses, and install doors, windows, and interior decorations. Materials such as thermal insulation layers and waterproof coatings can be used.
• Equipment Installation: Install water and power lines, air conditioners, underfloor heating, solar photovoltaic power generation systems, rainwater collection and purification systems, septic tanks, and other equipment to meet daily living needs.
• Safety Facilities: Set up necessary safety facilities according to local environmental and safety requirements, such as tornado shelters.

IV. Decoration

• Exterior Beautification: Paint and decorate the exterior of containers to harmonize with the surrounding environment. For example, painting containers white reduces heat absorption, and mirror strips reflect sunlight glare.
• Interior Decoration: Decorate the interior according to the style positioning and choose appropriate furniture and decorative materials. For example, use birch plywood to make walls, ceilings, and custom furniture, and use natural linoleum in different colors to distinguish rooms.
