9 × 40 FT + 1 × 20 FT Container Home (Luxury Custom Villa) — Full Description

Project Overview

This luxury custom container residence is developed using nine 40-foot shipping containers combined with one 20-foot container, creating a highly flexible and efficiently planned large-format villa. The 20FT container is strategically integrated to support circulation, services, or private utility functions, enhancing overall design efficiency without compromising luxury.

• Number of containers: 10 (9 × 40FT + 1 × 20FT)
• Container sizes: 40 FT and 20 FT
• Total built-up area: ≈ 285–290 m² (≈ 3,050–3,120 sq.ft.)
• Configuration: Single-level or G+1 adaptable layout
• Use: Luxury villa, farmhouse residence, resort unit, premium rental

The mixed-container configuration allows intelligent zoning, compact service cores, and improved cost optimization while delivering a spacious, high-end residential experience.

Overall Dimensions

Design Concept

The nine 40FT containers form the primary living, dining, and bedroom zones, while the 20FT container is efficiently used as a staircase core, home office, powder room, storage, or utility block. This results in minimal wasted circulation and a clean, luxurious spatial flow.
