Speaking of containers, many people immediately think of the busy figure of the wharf transporting goods. However, with the continuous development of society, the use of containers is no longer limited to this, especially the transformation of containers represented by container houses has become popular at present, which also makes the old containers replaced by the docks have a better home. This “hidden value” plays an important role in the design of new vacation scenes.

The construction of containers into houses generally requires proper transformation. Because of its strong earthquake resistance and deformation resistance, it can be stacked and stacked for use, with less construction waste, low construction cost, and simple dismantling . It is called a design Based on this, the designers have discovered the advantages of container houses and applied them in the design of various scenic spots, forming a new form of accommodation. They can design it into different styles, and they can also combine the containers freely, which is novel and unique, and has attracted a lot of attention. The remodeled container house in Orenda Tribe in Chongming, Shanghai integrates design and use functions, integrating the accommodation into the natural scenery.

The container is composed of ten boxes. The seemingly simple box is boldly broken by the appearance of the container by the designer and expanded to the peripheral space, so that the closed box has a shadow, and then a virtual box is expanded to expand the narrow space of a single container. The usable area and the accommodation function are satisfied.
The container homestay has also become the “popular fried chicken” in the eyes of designers. 12 shipping containers are used to create the most beautiful scenery of Sanqing Mountain – She Yin·Sanqing Mountain . It is one of the representatives of container homestay.

The interior of the guest room retains the rough texture of the container’s wavy walls and steel. The strong industrial style combined with the unique local ethnic style decoration has achieved a unique style here. The large floor-to-ceiling windows in each room further integrate the homestay with nature. The accommodation experience is even more novel than ordinary homestays.

In addition to playing the accommodation function of container houses, containers can also be used to decorate scenic spots and appear as decorative art . In 2013, at the Yilan Green Expo in Taiwan, a large-scale installation art “Eternal Life Tree” representing the sustainability of life in Yilan Green Expo was unveiled at the exhibition. This “Eternal Life Tree” was composed of 10 stacked containers. Attracted the attention of many visitors.

The advantages of containers are gradually magnified by scenic spots, and campsites are also beginning to test the waters. Beijing Miyun Sunshine Valley Light Luxury Natural Holiday Camp Paradise also focuses on containers. In order to build a variety of accommodation forms, we are making continuous efforts to bring out the role of containers.
Although containers have many advantages, we also need to comprehensively consider whether our scenic spots are suitable for joining this new type of housing from several aspects. In terms of popularity , container houses are not traditional houses. Operators need to consider whether they will be outdated and whether they will have an impact on customers who cannot accept this form; from the perspective of local building regulations , for container houses due to There is no uniform building standard, so we need to pay attention to the regulations of this form of accommodation in different regions; from the perspective of the container itself, the container itself is relatively cheap, but it may take a lot of time and effort to design, match, and renovate to transform it For a comfortable stay.

However, domestic container houses are still in the development stage and have a wide range of applications. The use value of containers in scenic spot design is far more than accommodation and installation art. I believe that in the future, we will discover more about the value of containers. After all, the times are developing, and people’s voices for enjoying life and enjoying wonderful things will continue to increase.
