Renovated Container House Cases
Here are some cases of renovated container houses:
Case 1: The 'Internet-Famous Cottage' in Xiaogan, Hubei
Mr. Zhou spent 13,000 yuan to renovate a second-hand container, creating a cozy internet-famous cottage for his parents. The original container was a standard size of 3 meters by 6 meters. After renovation, the interior features a rustic wood style with green plants, equipped with a projection screen, an open-plan mini kitchen, and a fully functional bathroom. The exterior is plain and unadorned, but the interior is a hidden gem, becoming a 'new attraction' that villagers flock to visit.
Case 2: A High-Aesthetic Residence Renovated from Four Containers
This residence is composed of four 30-square-meter containers, totaling 120 square meters. The containers are staggered to form terraces and a double-height living and dining area. The interior of the residence is fully functional, including a living room, kitchen, washroom, laundry room, master bedroom, guest room, and study. The modular structure of the containers facilitates expansion and rapid assembly, while their recyclability aligns with the principles of green architecture.
Case 3: A 15-Square-Meter Container Home Deep in the Forest
A foreign couple purchased a large container deep in the forest and transformed it into a mini home. The renovated house features a transformable open-plan design, exuding luxury and a strong sense of design. The house has two front and back doors and a terrace, with the roof upgraded to a retractable structure, ensuring ample light and ventilation. The interior decoration mimics the forest, with a primary color scheme of natural wood. The linear kitchen saves space, and the foldable bed in the bedroom increases space flexibility.
Case 4: Container Villas and Small B&B Hotels
There are also cases where containers are used to construct villas and small B&B hotels. The villa residence is formed by the staggered combination of four containers, creating terraces and double-height spaces. The small B&B hotel consists of four 6-meter-long containers, with sanitary facilities and a technical room downstairs and four guest rooms sharing a terrace upstairs. All rooms feature small round windows that connect with the surrounding landscape.
