Container House Interior

The interior of the container houses used in the Nagoya Asian Games in Japan mainly includes aspects such as a two-bedroom and one-living-room layout, basic living facilities, limited air-conditioning configuration, and issues with space and facilities, as follows:

• Two-bedroom and one-living-room layout: Each unit consists of two households, with each household planned as a two-bedroom and one-living-room space that can accommodate three people. This layout to some extent meets the needs of multiple occupants, but the space utilization is relatively compact.

• Basic living facilities: The entire house features wooden decor, creating a relatively warm living atmosphere. It is equipped with one toilet, one bathroom, and a changing room, meeting the basic needs of athletes for daily washing and changing clothes. The small space in the living room is furnished with a refrigerator, a sink, and a washing machine, providing simple living conveniences for athletes, enabling food storage, simple cleaning, and laundry operations.

• Limited air-conditioning configuration: There is only one air conditioner in the two-bedroom and one-living-room unit. If the room doors are closed, air circulation is restricted, which may make athletes feel relatively hot and affect the comfort of living, especially during hot weather when this issue becomes more prominent.

• Bed and space issues: All the beds are single beds, measuring 195 centimeters in length and 90 centimeters in width, which may not be spacious enough for taller athletes. Although there is reserved space under the beds for luggage storage and extendable mattresses are provided for taller athletes, the walkway between the two beds in a double-bed room is only wide enough for one person to stand, making the space relatively narrow. Moreover, the height of the container house is not high, and the overall space feels somewhat crowded and oppressive, having a certain negative impact on the athletes' living experience.

• Other issues: Some container-style cabins also have issues such as narrow beds and leaking rooms, forcing some teams to find alternative accommodations. This further illustrates that there are certain defects in their living conditions.
