Firstly I just want to say thanks to Emmanuel for creating this wonderful software. I've been using it for 2 years now as a hobby 'architect' and have enjoyed it very much. The project I'd like to share with you today, is my 40ft HICUBE Shipping Container House. Australia Joined: Jun 9, 2013 Post Count: 20 Status: Offline Re: 40ft HICUBE Container Concept House Project Thank you for taking the time to check it out, hansmex. Much appreciated. I am interested in emergency and compact housing design, particularly recycled shipping container architecture, even though we are a large family of 8 people.
Of course, gigantic buildings can be created using multiple shipping containers, but I love the idea of being able to put one's home on the back of a truck or boat and taking it anywhere! - Jun 7, 2013 1:03:42 AM Member.

If I may give a suggestion, I think your idea could become a real actual project by considering space for wardrobes or other forniture which are not optional in a house, like some space for dishes.
They depend on number of people but your modular concept is really promising. Very interesting idea! Jun 8, 2013 7:19:51 AM Member.

I understand these things happen. @Hans: Thanks for updating and sharing your container house.
The spacious design allows a lot of natural light to get in, which I discovered is very important in these type of homes. Compact housing is quite a challenge. Making tight spaces livable, is not as easy as it first seems. The other day a friend challenged me to design a container house which allows for handicap access. Now that's gonna take some innovative ideas! When you mentioned you updated this file from your archive of designs, I felt inspired once more to finish off a few missing details on one of my first shipping container projects from May 2011 - a 40ft HiCube + 2x8ft modular design that sleeps 10 (!!) and folds up into the 40ft container for transport.
I've begun presenting images from that project in my next post. @mdi: Thank you for taking a look at my container house! Yes, storage is very important in small spaces - I shall put more consideration into it. This particular design is a bit of a 'splurge' - a mini-mansion if you will. I started out with the intention of connecting a 2nd 40ft HiCube container, and possibly a 20ft container as well.
The kitchen you see here is actually a Bar. I opted to make it into a kitchette, with a service hatch to the outside (or into the 2nd container), when I decided to make the unit a self-contained home in it's own right.
The 2nd container will have a full kitchen, laundry & BBQ space, another lounge area, and perhaps the 2nd bathroom, which will otherwise be in the 20ft container with a guest bedroom. Still shuffling rooms around in my head ATM. My husband and I have wanted to build a container home for many years. Hopefully, one day our dream will come true.
40ft HICUBE Container Concept House Project (Update) Part One - Complete! I have rendered up a Quality 3 video @ 720x480, of the single bedroom container home in the Original Post. This render took a hefty 24 hours and I'm just too impatient to spend any longer than that.As you can see, Q3 creates an undesirable dotty effect on light blends which sort of 'sparkles' in video playback. I've turned the lights down low (10-20% at most), but it doesnt seem to make much difference.
Turning lights off completely and using a 'light source' can help, but not always. Quality 4 has a similar issue, but nowhere near as severe, however it is possibly related to the 'Q4 artifact bug.' I think the 'Halogen light source' (and light objects with a similar light tone) have more of an issue than the 'Incandescent light source' - but I need to conduct more testing to be certain about that (more discussion about light sources in my next post). I don't mean to go on about these render bugs - I'm just hoping the information and extensive examples will help the developers improve the Sunflow engine, and that my tests may also help other designers get a pleasing result in SH3D. The render bugs are quite unfortunate as the overall render quality is rather impressive - beautiful reflections on metals and mirrors, brilliant glass transparencies, nice smooth blending of shadows on matts. Anyway, here are the final Quality 4 still images (1600x900) of the remaining viewpoints to be shown. This is one of my favourite renders of the series.
Look at those gorgeous surfaces! It's almost photo-realistic!
ContainerHome3D 2.0 – Shipping Container Home Design Software Upgrade. We are very excited to announce the release of a major upgrade of our free Shipping Container Home Design Software to Version 2.0 Screen shot taken from the new Shipping Container Home Design software – Version 2.0. This image features a 2 x 20′ HC Container Cabin as an example template. More of these “fast start” design concepts are being created and will be released for free to our Members each week. Over the last 12 months we have taken on-board as much feedback as possible from our Members about how we can improve our 3D Container Home Design software. There was a ton of valuable suggestions put forward by Members that ranged from making the user interface more simple to navigate to improving the detail and accuracy of the 3D container models.
ContainerHome3D V2.0 now uses higher accuracy 3D model of 20′ and 40′ GP ( 8’6″ tall ) and HC ( 9’6″ tall ) Type 1A Containers and a new easy to drive ribbon control! We have also dramatically improved the visual realism of the the 3D models that you can build with our software. Screenshot from 3D model created with ContainerHome3D V 2.0 Real project completed in Costa Rica in 2011 – See our. Download our ContainerHome3D Software. If you would like a free copy of the 3D Shipping Container Home Design Software you can download that in the Members Area Interest in constructing Homes and Commercial Buildings using ISBU Shipping Container Modules continues to grow around the World – Our Shipping Container Home Design Software is designed to help people with an interest in visualizing their design ideas.
The benefits of using this recycled building material are many, and very well documented elsewhere on this site so I wont go into that on this post – One of the greatest challenges for people interested in this Home Design technique is coming up with a design that will make both a practical residential dwelling that is also visually pleasing and although interest in this construction technique is growing rapidly its probably unlikely that there is a Home Display Center near you that showcases possible Container Home designs. If creating an external design wasn’t challenging enough wait until you get into the Interior Design for Cargo Container Modules!
Those long narrow rooms are not like traditional room sizes and the selection and placement of furnishing and fittings is a whole new world, exciting yes but challenging none the less. Important: Our ContainerHome3D Design Software has been designed for the Windows operating environment.
It will not run on the Apple Mac OS. It is also a 3D Modeling Tool and as such requires a 3D Graphics Card and a separate Plug in Style Mouse. Our Guarantee: If you have ANY issues with the Software – ANY issues at all we can help you create the Models here at Containerhome.info as a service and simply provide you with the finished model to explore and make changes in our software or as a series of JPEG images from all angles and points of view.
