6 × 40 FT Bottom + 2 × 40 FT Top Container Home (G+1 Grand Villa) — Full Description

Project Overview

This expansive G+1 container home is developed using eight 40-foot shipping containers, with six containers forming a large, luxurious ground floor and two containers placed on the upper level. The reduced upper footprint enables generous terraces, double-height zones, and enhanced daylight penetration, resulting in a bold yet balanced architectural composition.

• Number of containers: 8
• Container size: 40 FT each
• Total built-up area: ≈ 240 m² (≈ 2,580 sq.ft.)
• Configuration: Ground Floor (6 containers) + First Floor (2 containers)
• Use: Ideal for luxury villas, estate homes, resorts, or premium rental properties

This layout emphasizes a strong ground-level presence for social living while reserving the upper floor for exclusive private suites or leisure spaces.
