Small Container House Design Drawings

Currently, there are no directly complete design drawings for small container houses, but design ideas and key points can be provided based on relevant design information.

Overall Planning

Containers have a fixed width and selectable lengths. During the design process, the number and combination method of containers can be determined according to the number of occupants and functional requirements. For example, for a family of four, similar to the case in a Jiangsu town, multiple containers can be used to reasonably plan the internal space on the existing foundation. If unique design is pursued, one can refer to the case where a foreigner transformed a Chinese container into a 15㎡ mini home, adopting a deformable open design and customizing the space by cutting or removing one or two side walls to meet different functional requirements.

Appearance and Structure

The appearance color can be chosen according to personal preferences. For example, the foreigner's renovation case uses a dark blue tone, giving a sense of stability. In terms of roof design, one can learn from the method of using lifting rods to connect the four corners of the roof, facilitating the adjustment of the roof height or maintenance. At the same time, solar panels can be installed on the top to provide clean energy for the house and reduce dependence on traditional energy sources.

Internal Functional Zoning

• Kitchen: It can be designed in a linear shape with a natural wood color as the main tone, creating a warm and natural atmosphere. A large number of cabinets and open shelves should be set up to increase storage space and facilitate the storage of kitchenware and food ingredients.
• Bedroom: The bed can be designed to be foldable to save space. Install cabinets along the sides and top walls of the bed to meet the storage needs for clothing and other items.
• Living Room: A small stove can be placed in the center of the house, and the surrounding walls and floors can be made of fire-resistant and heat-resistant black special materials to ensure safety and create a unique atmosphere.
• Other Areas: Set up areas such as a study, secondary bedroom, hallway entrance, and balcony garden according to needs. For different areas, one can refer to the design drawings of Huaniandai Design Office, Yanxu Design Agency, Wutong Design, and Wuhu Honghu Design to gain more inspiration.

Thermal Insulation

To ensure living comfort, the container needs to be treated, sealed, and insulated. Insulation layers can be installed to reduce heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor environments and lower energy consumption. At the same time, air conditioners should be reasonably installed to regulate the indoor temperature and meet the living needs in different seasons.
