Round Prefabricated House

A round prefabricated house is a building form with diverse types, a wide range of application scenarios, and unique advantages.

Types and Design

There are various types and designs of round prefabricated houses. Common ones include off-grid solar-powered modern LGSF (Light Gauge Steel Frame) prefabricated modular villa round cabins. These houses combine modern technology with environmental protection concepts, using solar energy to meet energy needs. There are also modular round capsule houses, which have a compact design and complete functions, suitable for small-space living requirements. Additionally, there are luxury prefabricated round-house light-steel-structure forest vacation houses, usually used in vacation and leisure scenarios, providing people with a comfortable living experience.

Application Scenarios

They are suitable for multiple scenarios. In vacation eco-hotel projects, round prefabricated houses can serve as featured guest rooms, offering tourists a unique accommodation experience. Holiday glass houses allow residents to get closer to nature and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful scenery. Luxury camping cabins provide a more comfortable and safe living environment for camping enthusiasts.

Pricing Situation

The prices of round prefabricated houses vary depending on the type and specifications. Some are priced at ¥1,003.35 - 3,210.72 per square meter, with a minimum order quantity of 1 square meter. This pricing method is suitable for small-scale procurement or personalized customization needs. Others are priced at ¥374.59 per 18 square meters, with 3 pieces sold. This pricing method based on a larger area may be more suitable for large-scale procurement or commercial projects.

Advantages and Characteristics

Round prefabricated houses have many advantages. In terms of building material usage, their round structure can save building materials and improve resource utilization efficiency. In terms of energy, they have energy-saving advantages, helping to reduce energy consumption. When it comes to dealing with natural disasters, they have stronger resistance to storms and extreme weather conditions because the wind will naturally bypass the round structure, reducing the pressure on one side and ensuring the safety of the house.

Historical Practice and Construction Method

There have also been relevant practices of round prefabricated houses in history. In the late 1960s, Finnish architect Matti Suuronen designed a series of prefabricated round houses known as the "Future House." About 100 such houses were built, and it is estimated that about 60 of them still stand today. In terms of construction methods, some round wooden cabins do not require bricklaying or pouring and do not contain a drop of cement or steel bars. Workers can build a beautiful house in just two days using oriented strand boards (OSBs) with a certain arc. By splicing the OSBs to form a round structure and then connecting and fixing them with boards of the same arc to ensure the sturdiness of the walls, and then completing the roof structure, installing glass skylights, wrapping insulation materials and decorative cloth, and installing doors and windows, the construction is completed.
