7 × 40 FT Container Home (Courtyard-Centric Luxury Villa) — Full Description

Project Overview

This courtyard-centric luxury container villa is developed using seven 40-foot shipping containers arranged around a large, private internal courtyard. The design places the courtyard as the spatial, visual, and climatic heart of the home, delivering exceptional natural light, cross-ventilation, and privacy while maintaining an estate-scale single-level footprint.

• Number of containers: 7
• Container size: 40 FT each
• Total built-up area: ≈ 210 m² (≈ 2,260 sq.ft.)
• Configuration: Single-level, courtyard-focused layout
• Use: Ideal for luxury villas, resort homes, farmhouses, or premium estate living

By orienting all major spaces toward the courtyard, the home achieves strong inward privacy, resort-like ambience, and seamless indoor–outdoor living.

Overall Dimensions (Per Container)

Courtyard-Centric Planning Concept

The seven containers are arranged in a U- or near-closed-loop configuration, enclosing a generously sized courtyard. This courtyard acts as the primary light well, ventilation core, and social space, while external openings are controlled to maximize privacy from surrounding plots.
