8 × 40 FT Container Home (U-Shape with Pool) — Full Description

Project Overview

This luxury container villa is developed using eight 40-foot shipping containers arranged in a U-shaped configuration around a central private pool. The layout creates a strong resort-style living experience, with all major spaces oriented toward the pool and inner courtyard, ensuring privacy, natural ventilation, and a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle.

• Number of containers: 8
• Container size: 40 FT each
• Total built-up area: ≈ 240 m² (≈ 2,580 sq.ft.)
• Configuration: Single-level U-shape with central pool
• Use: Ideal for luxury villas, resorts, farmhouses, or premium holiday homes

The U-shaped planning maximizes privacy from the outside while opening inward to a calm, sunlit pool courtyard that becomes the heart of daily living and entertainment.

Design Concept – U-Shape Pool-Centric Living
