Our Container House Types
SY Home provides 5 main types of container houses for different building, transportation and installation requirements.
1. Modular Container House
Modular container houses use a standardized steel frame and modular building system. Each unit can be used independently or combined with other units to create larger spaces.
The modular system can be configured in different forms, including standard units, customized units, open-front designs and multi-storey combinations.
Suitable for:
- Offices
- Dormitories
- Accommodation
- Showrooms
- Commercial spaces
- Multi-unit buildings
- Two-storey modular projects
Best for: Projects requiring flexible layouts and modular combination.
2. Folding Container House
Folding container houses are designed so that the main structure can be folded into a compact form for transportation.
After delivery, the unit can be unfolded and assembled on site, helping reduce transport volume and shorten installation time.
Suitable for:
- Worker accommodation
- Dormitories
- Site offices
- Temporary buildings
- Emergency accommodation
- Repeated modular units
Best for: Projects requiring compact transportation and quick installation.
3. Detachable Container House
Detachable container houses use a bolt-connected structure that can be packed as separate components for transportation and assembled at the project site.
This design is suitable for projects where efficient packing, bulk transportation and on-site assembly are important.
Multiple units can also be connected to form larger buildings.
Suitable for:
- Worker camps
- Dormitories
- Temporary offices
- Construction site buildings
- Accommodation projects
- Large-volume modular projects
Best for: Bulk projects that require efficient packing and transportation.
4. Corrugated Container House
Corrugated container houses use corrugated steel exterior panels to create a stronger container-style appearance.
The exterior can be combined with different doors, windows, glazing and colors, making it suitable for both practical and more customized commercial applications.
Suitable for:
- Offices
- Shops
- Showrooms
- Security rooms
- Commercial spaces
- Customized container buildings
Best for: Projects that prefer a classic corrugated container appearance.
5. Expandable Container House
Expandable container houses are designed with extendable side sections that open after delivery to create a wider interior space.
During transportation, the unit remains relatively compact. After installation, the expandable sections increase the usable floor area, making this type especially suitable for residential layouts.
Suitable for:
- Residential homes
- Family accommodation
- Guest houses
- Holiday homes
- Multi-bedroom layouts
- Temporary or semi-permanent housing
Best for: Projects that need more usable interior space after delivery.
