Benefits of using container construction

The general idea is to bypass standard wooden structures by using containers as a component. Our idea is that by using the structural form of containers, you no longer need any external framework, and you can also recycle key parts of modern commercial infrastructure

The transport container is designed with external support, so that it can bear the weight of itself and goods when stacked, which is a good start for building manufacturing. These blocks come in two main sizes, 20 feet and 40 feet long. Both are the same height and width, 8 feet × 8 feet. The smaller 20 foot version provides 160 feet of raw space, while the 40 foot version increases to 320 square feet

Something outside the box. This building of Joshua Tree uses rigid form containers in an unconventional way to create a dramatic form

This price is also a big attraction of container houses. The smaller container costs between $1400 and $2800, while the larger version costs between $3500 and $4500, which may be an inexpensive way to quickly obtain floor space.

Another benefit of shipping containers is mobility. Containers can be prefabricated on site and then assembled and completed on site, instead of having to be built on site. This is an advantage for long-distance or difficult to reach construction sites, because the traditional long-distance construction costs are too high or the logistics costs are not high

Modern space. By using three containers side by side, this family achieves a spacious and magnificent feeling of living room and kitchen.

Although this construction model may seem like the trend of the future, there are still some things to keep in mind. The first thing to consider is that the purpose of shipping containers is to transport goods, not to live. Therefore, although $12000 can allow me to obtain the basic area of the current house, and the price is far lower than the price I pay, it will be a beautiful miserable space to live in when it comes.

This dramatic and luxurious family completely hides any hint of the original container, rich wood tones and dramatic roof lines.

Design is another thing to remember. The rigid lines and industrial materials of the container make it more modern. You can go to a more rural or traditional space, but it needs quite a lot of supplement.

Another thing to remember is the ceiling height. Although the trend seems to be towards a higher ceiling, the container locks you at the standard 8 feet. (and considering that you will lose more after the interior decoration is completed.) If you stack containers vertically and open them, you can technically achieve that high ceiling height. But it certainly requires some careful engineering.

This airbnb industry is a perfect example of retaining container design until the initial paint work.

First, you need to work with excellent architects and engineers to ensure that any changes you want to make are comfortable, stable and safe. Although the container itself is very hard, taking out the walls and adding doors and windows will change the integrity of the structure and may require some additional support.

A more traditional view. This family uses wood and stone cladding to soften the commercial effect of the container and give it a more traditional feel.

Also remember that the shipping container is essentially a metal box. The metal box receives heat or cools depending on its environment. Therefore, insulation is very important to keep indoor space livable; It can be placed inside or outside the container, depending on how you perform the design.

In the overall design of the building, you can take several methods. You can embrace the appearance of the container and leave as much raw material as possible outside. Alternatively, you can use the container as a substrate instead of covering or shielding it with another material.

One of lumens' most popular locals, the Federalist, provides delicious pizza and indoor / outdoor atmosphere through the use of containers.

So now you have another way to make your dream home come true. Easy to use, but due to its unique design challenges, containers offer a range of solutions and unprecedented new creative life opportunities.
