Container building system

CON TA I N E R H OUSI N G Our living environment is deteriorating due to human actions, specifically climate change, deforestation, pollution, and excessive carbon emissions. This has created an urgent need for more environmentally-friendly and renewable living solutions to address the pressing challenges we face.

Discarded containter

Additionally, the advancements in technology and evolving societal needs require a more dynamic and interactive approach to community design.

Transport to site

To address these challenges, I propose four methods. Firstly, utilize recycling container boxes as basic building blocks, repurposing discarded materials to create an eco-friendly community. This approach promotes sustainability and minimizes waste and contributes to a circular economy. Secondly, employ a flexible and upgrading building system that allows for adaptability to changing needs, fostering a

resilient and future-proof living environment. Additionally, by encouraging customization and offering diverse housing options, we create a

Pri-fabricated frame & panel

vibrant and resilient community that caters to individual preferences. Lastly, integrate off-grid systems and regenerative practices, such as closed-loop food circles, to eliminate carbon emissions and promote self-sustainability. Through these measures, we strive to build a resilient and environmentally-conscious community for a brighter future.

M POVILION P11-15

Secret Rosedale is a pure white pavilion that indicates the holy and pure character of the pavilion. Like the wedding, it evoked the calmness and purity, and romance of the space. The pavilion is sunken, hidden inside the land, it is a secret place, only you came into it and the whole site will reveal in front. The shape is a blooming white rose, all about romantic and secret mystery. It celebrates the shadow created by the hollow frame skin. The sharp skin frame is contrasted with curved linear pavilion shape, to show its graciousness and inviolability. In the skin, the lower part is more closed to provide privacy, while the upper parts are more hollow, utill the dome in the top, to show the shadow as well as connect with the sky. The main pavilion is composed of 3 spheres, the middle one is the pavilion centre for seminar and quartet performance, the other two on both sides is pointing to the direction of pathways, and also they are smaller than the middle one, working as transitional zone and provide supplementary sitting space. The pavilion is made from 4mm thick steel sheets welded together in-site. The landscape sits are made from concrete, they then painted with white matte paints.

construction details: 4mm thick steel layer with white matte paint on both side. welded joint: steel layer are prefabricated and weld together piece by piece in-site

How did the site condition affect the design of the house?

The existing site landscapes and house boundaries have influenced the design of the house, but within my section, the influence is minimized. The site boundaries and local road formed the house of west-east orientation with entrance in the southwest, so my site are mainly formed the garage at the basement level for car to easy access. The house is been set back from the boundary to preserve the existing trees in the north side.

The soil report for this site is class P\M, and the slab design is based on class M. This class representing moderately reactive clay or silt sites, may experience moderate 20-40mm ground movement caused by soil conditions and moisture changes. Pad footings and strip footings are suggested to be used for calss P soil, as well as the compacting sand fill.

Construction Analysis 4. Environmental Protections

5. Mechanical and electrical systems

In order to make the building livable and comfortable, the building need to be protect from rain water, heat flow, air penetration and sound noise. The rain water falling on the building is been blocked\collected and filtered to using again, so the wall and roof need waterproof membrane; the roof is slightly sloped for better collection, with flashing to prevent water go into house. At the lowest point using gutter and pipes to transfer water. Insulation is vital for thermal comfort in the house, to keep house temperature nicely from hot or cold weather. When the heat or cooling system is operating, a good insulated house can have less heat loss. It is also important to absorb the sound from outside or other inside rooms for quite space. Windows can be used to ventilate the house and provide solar gain, especially from the north side. The elevation will hide the environmental protections include box gutter, down pipes and insulation for aesthetic point of view, and also the framing of windows and glass were hidden by wood or limestone brick veneer.

The HVAC systems are placed in the ensuite ceiling to provides heating, cooling and ventilation. As t arrangement can also save the energy use in shower as the volume is smaller.

3. Internal (non-load bearing) partitions How do the internal partitions organise the life inside the building?

Internal partitions are mainly used to define the different space and provide privacy. If internal walls inside a house didn’t carry any load, it is been used to define a space like bedrooms and WIR. The sliding\operable doors for each rooms can zone the space between public and private. These area don’t have many walls as it has lot’s of full glazing to receive sun light to the north. Internal service zone is 10mm away from the structure framing, to conceal the structure and creating void for better house insulation. the floor is using different boards for wet and dry area, so in-suite are using water resistant plasterboard to aviod system been destroyed by water.

6. Physical Enclosures systems

Do the physical enclosures express aspects of the building (internal spaces, structure and materiality)?

ectrical services efficiently?

The limestone materiality becomes the main features of the building enclosures for this house, it dominant the feeling and basic principles of this house, and been used not only for the exterior but also the interior floor and wall. The west façade are fully limestone, gives a feeling of clean and light, compared to other brick wall. The limestone also can define different spaces inside the house through the material changes. Like the limestone tile changed to timber floor in bedroom. The central courtyard creates a natural centre for all rooms to look, and connect to each other with the garden. The pond and green balconies can also help to produce a better passivhaus by increasing the green foot print.

Immersive installation In the presentaiton, I have 2 types of audio on the 2 end point of X axis, one is my own voice, and one is the anbience serrounding, which include my walking sound. I also tried to have two types of light on the Y axis, so that it forms an immerse square, people can choose to experience more ‘house garden’ or more ‘nature reserve’, but the place is too small for that, So i tried to make people walk towards the light, to feel the intensity change during walking from ‘house garden’ to ‘wild nature’.
