Like all modular housing options,
the container building can add and adjust other units according to
the changing needs of the container structure,
including the construction of new rooms, balconies or terraces.
Under this contrast condition,
the construction cost of standard reinforced concrete structure is high,
and it can not be scaled according to the changing needs.
The container structure is a more favorable choice for luxury houses in this case.
The container house project is from Logan, Ohio, USA,
and is undertaken by the [creative cabinets] team,
It is one of the successful cases of creative shipping container conversion.
Like the house appearance of other projects of the team,
it has chosen the plain dark and original appearance.
However, against the background of black paint and paint,
wood is used to match it, creating a striking sense of harmony.
The design and decoration of the house built by [creative cabins] are very beautiful.
The house is built with multiple containers,
creating a more spacious and
comfortable living environment through a customized mode.
The indoor selection uses all white walls and wooden floors,
and the triangular roof creates a vertically elongated visual effect.
The container cabin can accommodate at least 4 people at the same time,
with a fully equipped kitchen, a living space with a gas fireplace,
2 private bedrooms and a bathroom.
In order to facilitate daily activities,
the bedroom and bathroom are connected together,
and the layout of first going to the bathroom and then to the bedroom is innovated,
which can improve the utilization rate of the bathroom.
However, the biggest highlight of the project is
that this hut not only has a comfortable living environment,
but also has an independent private basketball court,
which is also a "industrial style" basketball court customized by containers.
The basketball court is arranged between two transport containers,
so that the basketball court is in a closed area and has bright lighting equipment.
Like the houses used for living in the project,
there is no special coating on the outside of the containers of the basketball court.
Only the natural appearance of the transportation containers is preserved,
which truly gives the building individuality.
There is a huge overhead floor and terrace in front of the basketball court,
and there is a gas-fired open-air barbecue stove and a fire pit with comfortable chairs.
It is a good place to integrate with nature and enjoy the reading time with birds.
