This luxury courtyard mansion is developed using nine 40-foot shipping containers arranged around a central open-to-sky courtyard. The inward-facing planning creates a private, serene, and climate-responsive residence that blends contemporary container architecture with traditional courtyard living.

• Number of containers: 9
• Container size: 40 FT each
• Total built-up area: ≈ 260–270 m² (≈ 2,800–2,900 sq.ft.)
• Configuration: Courtyard layout (single-level or selective G+1 option)
• Use: Ultra-luxury bungalow, courtyard villa, resort mansion, premium rental

The courtyard acts as the heart of the home, enhancing natural ventilation, daylight, thermal comfort, and visual connectivity across all living spaces.
