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.

Planning Concept

The seven containers are arranged to form a large, estate-style footprint with clearly defined public, private, and service wings. Central living spaces anchor the home, while bedroom suites extend outward for privacy. Courtyards, verandas, or garden-facing decks can be integrated to enhance climate responsiveness and luxury appeal.
