In fact, ordinary containers have many restrictions that make them unfit for living. For example, the height of common containers is about 2 meters; or the steel wall is not conducive to thermal insulation and sound insulation; and then the appearance, the enclosed space is difficult to daylighting But that's just because it has not been "carved" and only needs to be transformed according to livable conditions. It can even replace the position of reinforced concrete in current buildings.
This is an example of Baan idea in kongjing, Thailand. It can be seen from the side that the container is placed on a concrete base raised from the ground to protect the house from the moisture under the building. There are stairs rising from the side, and a big tree is enough to cover the house.
In order to turn the container into a livable mansion, the architect redesigned the structure with steel bars on it. The roof was raised by about 3 meters, and a light hole about 60 cm high was drilled vertically between the roof and the wall to make the house more vertical, the interior looked higher and more ventilated.
In addition, the architect also drilled a large vertical opening from the floor to the ceiling as the door and window of the residence, creating favorable conditions for natural lighting and open ventilation. Even in the daytime, there is no need to turn on the lighting power supply to ventilate the house and reduce the heat. For sound management, the thermal panel method helps to prevent noise.
The most simple layout of the public space is through the walls, which will not be blocked by open space. Polished glazed epoxy floor makes the floor shiny, even easy to walk, safe, no trip points, no dust and hair accumulation, easy to wipe, dust, clean, and resistant to dog nail scratch.
The walls of the room look like ordinary exposed plaster, but they are designed to mimic the corrugated surface of the container. Hidden behind a simple wooden door decorated in a minimalist style, the bedroom has only one bed. Metal shelves in the bed and bed end area can be used for storage or tables. And a simple and atmospheric toilet.
