Jinghai Container House Design

The design of container houses in Jinghai requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as structure, functionality, safety, and environmental protection. The following provides an explanation from four aspects: design points, material selection, space utilization, and case references:

I. Structural Design Points
Container houses are mainly constructed with welded steel structures, using galvanizing technology to enhance corrosion resistance. They consist of five major systems: structure, floor, ceiling, wall, and roof. Each system is prefabricated in the factory using standardized unit modules and can be quickly assembled on-site. During design, it is essential to ensure structural stability. For example, when stacking double-layer containers, professional connectors should be used for fixation, and additional lateral supports should be added to resist lateral forces. For coastal areas or regions with strong winds, the bottom fixing devices should be reinforced, such as using anchor bolts or concrete foundation anchoring, to prevent house displacement or overturning caused by strong winds.

II. Material Selection and Environmental Protection
Wall and roof materials should balance insulation and fire resistance. Commonly, rock wool or foam sandwich panels are used as insulation layers with a thickness of 50-75mm, effectively reducing energy consumption. For interior decoration, fire-rated Class A decorative panels such as gypsum board or calcium silicate board are used to ensure fire safety. The floor system often employs a cement base paired with composite wood flooring or tiles, meeting both load-bearing requirements and enhancing comfort. Additionally, modular design supports material recycling. For example, disassembled containers can be reassembled or the steel can be recycled, aligning with low-carbon environmental protection concepts.

III. Space Utilization and Functional Expansion
Container houses can achieve space expansion through vertical and horizontal assembly, such as forming two-story office buildings or three-story dormitory buildings. Internal partitions are designed to be removable, allowing flexible division of functional areas. For example, a single container can be divided into a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, or adjacent containers can be connected to create an open office space. For small-area units (e.g., 15㎡), an integrated design can be adopted: custom folding beds that serve as both sleeping and sofa functions, linear kitchens to save space, and hidden storage systems (e.g., open shelves at the head of the bed, storage racks on container doors) to enhance storage efficiency.

IV. Practical Case References

1. Local Enterprise Case in Jinghai: Jieweinuo produces packaged container houses with standardized modules, supporting rapid assembly and relocation, suitable for scenarios such as construction site project departments and temporary exhibition halls. Its products solve rain leakage issues through a 1-5mm thick container wave plate design on the top and offer a one-year free maintenance service.
2. Forest Container Residence: A case transformed a 15㎡ container into a fully functional small home, optimizing space through foldable furniture and rounded corner designs, with a total cost of approximately 110,000 yuan, demonstrating a balance between low cost and high practicality.
3. Shanghai Container Office: A renovation project located in a bustling city area formed a multi-story structure by stacking containers and incorporated large glass curtain walls to enhance natural lighting, showcasing a fusion of industrial style and modern aesthetics.

When designing, it is essential to consider specific needs (such as residential, office, or commercial purposes), refer to the product characteristics of local enterprises (such as the modular solutions of Jieweinuo and Falilai), and comply with building safety regulations to ensure both functionality and cost-effectiveness.
