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 steel walls, not conducive to heat preservation and sound insulation; Then there is the appearance, the enclosed space is difficult to light ... but it is only because it has not been "carved" and only needs to be modified according to livable conditions. it can even replace the position of reinforced concrete in the current building.

This is an example of renovation in Kong Jing, Thailand. From the side, it can be seen that the container is placed on a concrete base raised from the ground to protect the house from moisture under the building. There are also 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, raised the roof by about 3 meters, and drilled a light hole about 60 cm high vertically between the roof and the wall to make the house more vertical, the interior looks higher and more ventilated.

In addition, the architect also drilled a large vertical opening from the floor to the ceiling to serve as the door and window of the house, creating favorable conditions for natural lighting and open ventilation. Even during the day, there is no need to turn on the lighting power supply to ventilate the house and reduce heat. For sound management, the insulation panel method helps prevent noise.

The simplest layout of a house is planned in public areas in an open manner so that the space is open and ventilated without being blocked by walls. Polished glazed epoxy floor makes the floor shiny, even easy to walk, safe, free of tripping points, free of dust and hair accumulation, easy to wipe, vacuumize, clean, and resistant to scratching of dog nails.

The wall of the room looks like ordinary bare gypsum, but it is actually designed to imitate the corrugated surface of the container. The bedroom, hidden behind a simple wooden door decorated in a simple style, has only one bed, a metal shelf in the bed and at the end of the bed, which can be used for storage or tables. And a simple and atmospheric toilet.
