Hulun Container Mobile House
The Hulun container mobile house is a habitable building transformed from standard containers, mainly used in the Hulunbuir region for grassland tourism reception, temporary workstations, and seasonal living scenarios.
Basic Concepts and Structural Features
Container mobile houses are repurposed from standard containers originally used for cargo transportation, which are either reused after their service life ends or specially produced. Their main structure is made of steel, providing strong stability and durability. The standard dimensions are approximately 12 meters in length, 2.4 meters in width, and 2.6 meters in height. By cutting and welding multiple containers together, various spatial layouts can be created. During the transformation, windows and doors are added while maintaining structural integrity, and insulation layers, electrical systems, and water supply and drainage facilities are installed inside. Given the cold winters in Hulunbuir, insulation treatment is particularly crucial, with common practices including filling insulation materials within the walls and using double-glazed windows.
Construction Process and Adaptability
The construction process is relatively simple, involving foundation construction, container hoisting, interior decoration, and external environment organization. Independent or strip foundations are commonly used in grassland areas to adapt to the terrain conditions. Its modular nature allows for rapid assembly and disassembly, minimizing the impact on the grassland ecological environment, and its sturdy structure can withstand strong winds. However, intense sunlight in summer can raise the metal surface temperature, while low temperatures and snow in winter demand higher insulation performance, necessitating additional measures such as adding ventilation layers and using reflective coatings.
Space Utilization and Pricing
The interior space is limited and requires rational planning. Common practices include adopting an open layout that combines living and dining functions, utilizing vertical space for storage areas, and using customized furniture. When combining multiple containers, various spatial effects can be created through staggered placement and overhead connections. Prices vary significantly among different companies. For example, Shenyang Yingchuang Color Steel Installation Co., Ltd. offers a price of 215.00 yuan per unit (≥1 unit), Shandong Zhongsheng Xinda Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. quotes 88.00 yuan per square meter (≥2500 square meters), Hulunbuir Jihaifa Color Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. offers 11,000 yuan per set (≥1 set), Weifang Zhonghong Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. quotes 4200.00 yuan per set (≥1 set), and Yancheng Qifeng Steel Structure Co., Ltd. offers 9500.00 yuan per set (≥10 sets).
