7 × 40 FT Container Home (Single-Level Estate) — Full Description
Project Overview
This expansive single-level estate is developed using seven 40-foot shipping containers configured to create a grand, low-rise residence with generous proportions, strong zoning, and seamless indoor–outdoor connectivity. The layout delivers the scale and comfort of a luxury estate while retaining the efficiency and modular precision of container architecture.
- Number of containers: 7
- Container size: 40 FT each
- Total built-up area: ≈ 210 m² (≈ 2,260 sq.ft.)
- Configuration: Single-level estate layout
- Use: Ideal for luxury estates, farmhouses, resort villas, or large family homes
The design emphasizes horizontal spread, privacy between wings, and premium spatial experiences, making it well-suited for large plots and landscaped environments.
