7 × 40 FT + 1 × 20 FT Container Home (Studio / Lift Core) — Full Description

Project Overview

This premium large-format container residence is developed using seven 40-foot shipping containers for primary living spaces, complemented by one 20-foot container that functions as a vertical circulation core and flexible studio. The configuration is ideal for future-ready homes requiring lift access, accessibility compliance, or a compact independent studio.

• Number of containers: 8
• Container sizes: 7 × 40 FT + 1 × 20 FT
• Total built-up area: ≈ 225 m² (≈ 2,420 sq.ft.)
• Configuration: G+1 / expandable vertical core
• Use: Ideal for luxury villas, mixed-use homes, resorts, or future-ready estates

The dedicated 20 FT module enhances long-term adaptability by housing a lift shaft, stair landing, or compact studio—without disrupting the main living layout.

Overall Dimensions

Design Concept

The seven 40 FT containers are organized into public, private, and service wings on the main level(s), while the 20 FT container is positioned centrally or laterally as a structural spine. This spine can house a lift, stair continuation, or be converted into a standalone studio for guests, staff, or rental use.
