Container-renovated houses feature diverse designs, low costs, environmental friendliness, and flexibility. Here are some case collections of container-renovated houses:

I. Single-Occupant Residences
- Young Man Quits Job to Build Container House: A young man used all his savings to build a container house in the suburbs, featuring black paint on the exterior, natural wood interior, a large metal staircase with railings, and bright green decorative strips. The house includes an extended small patio, a bathroom with wooden wall partitions, blue gradient waterproof tiles, and a novel and practical suspended marble sink.
- Foreign Couple's 15㎡ Mini Home: A foreign couple transformed a Chinese container into a 15㎡ mini home with a dark blue exterior, front and back doors with a central opening connecting to a patio. The roof has lifting poles at all four corners and solar panels on top. Inside, it features a minimalist style with a linear kitchen to save space, a foldable bed in the bedroom, and cabinets installed on the side and top walls.
- Single Man's Green Cottage: A single man in Xiaoshan rented a container from Taobao and decorated it into a fresh and cozy home for 1200 yuan per month, with a courtyard and a hammock at the entrance. The interior features natural wood furniture paired with white decor, and a dry-wet separated bathroom.
- Young Man's 18㎡ Container Villa: Due to high housing prices, a young man chose to renovate a cargo container into an 18㎡ villa, featuring a living room at the entrance with a sofa that doubles as a bed, a semi-open kitchen and a hidden bathroom further inside, with a reasonable spatial layout.
II. Multi-Occupant Residences
- Two Sisters' 30㎡ Luxury Villa: Two sisters purchased a 12-meter container to build a 30㎡ luxury villa surrounded by green forests. The top features an expanded open-air balcony, with outdoor leisure areas designed around it, and winding stairs and gravel paths adding a touch of childlike charm and elegance.
- Couple's 30㎡ Home for Seven: A couple spent six years renovating two old containers, with one container's side expanding into a hydraulic deck. In Container No. 1, furniture can be stored in the walls, and the bed can sleep two when lowered, along with a kitchen and bathroom.
III. Commercial and Other Types
- Container Hotel: A small guesthouse hotel composed of four 6-meter-long containers, featuring sanitary facilities downstairs, guest rooms with shared balconies upstairs, small round windows connecting to the scenery, and walls made of birch plywood.
- Sustainable Living Lab: Constructed from six containers, it includes three bedrooms and other spaces inside, adopting a modular design where each container serves a different function, forming versatile functional spaces through various combinations.
