Box Container House Size Diagram

The sizes of box container houses vary depending on their types and assembly methods. Here are some common specifications:

1. 3×6-meter Construction Site Housing and Office Container
This type features a single-box structure suitable for temporary office or living scenarios. Its dimensions are 5930mm (length) × 2990mm (width) × 2740mm (height). With a length close to 6 meters, a width of approximately 3 meters, and a height slightly below 2.8 meters, the interior space is compact, accommodating basic office equipment or single-person living facilities. These containers typically adopt standardized designs for easy transportation and rapid assembly, commonly seen on construction sites and in field operations.

2. Duplex Container House (Three 40-foot containers assembled)
This type of house expands space by assembling multiple containers to form a duplex structure. The overall assembled dimensions are 11.8m (length) × 6.75m (width) × 2.8m (height), allowing for a two-story layout that significantly increases usable area. The base unit is a single 40-foot container house with dimensions of 11.8m (length) × 2.25m (width) × 2.8m (height). By assembling three units horizontally, the width expands from 2.25 meters to 6.75 meters, creating an open living or office space suitable for multiple occupants or team office needs.

3. 20-foot Standard Container House
As the most common standardized type, the external dimensions of a 20-foot container house are 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height. Its internal clear dimensions are typically slightly smaller than the external ones, considering wall thickness. These containers are compact in structure, with low transportation costs, and are often converted into independent residences, shops, or emergency medical units. Their height of 2.8 meters meets basic standing requirements, but for increased ceiling height or duplex structures, special designs or additional assemblies are needed.

Size Selection Recommendations:

• Single-box use: Prioritize 20-foot or 3×6-meter containers for a balance of cost and functionality.
• Space expansion: Duplex structures require assembly, necessitating advance planning of layout and load-bearing design.
• Height limitations: Standard container height is 2.8 meters; for taller spaces, consider non-standard customization or roof extensions.

Different sizes of container houses vary in transportation, assembly, and cost, requiring comprehensive selection based on actual needs, budget, and site conditions.
