With the development of society, travel has become the first choice for people to relieve stress in the high-pressure and busy urban life. But whenever there is a peak tourist season, housing conditions will always be in short supply. In order to solve the above problems, container houses are gradually playing an important role in the tourism industry. From a durable means of transportation to a cutting-edge architectural form that is at the forefront of fashion, the strong industrial style and artistic texture make it popular with countless fans once it is launched.
At this stage, it can be said that China’s container housing market is still in a relatively early incubation period. Most people’s understanding of containers is still in the sheds and simple dormitories. However, in recent years, with the improvement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, container modular prefabricated buildings rely on their factory prefabricated production + on-site installation mode, which not only shortens the construction period, but also eliminates the problems caused by uneven construction levels in various places. The problem of uneven building quality. So we have reason to believe that container houses will most likely usher in its first explosive growth in China in the next few years.
From a transportation artifact to an ever-changing master
Container house, also known as container movable house, mainly refers to a simple residence with windows and doors after transformation, using containers as the basic material. Containers were originally widely used as simple transportation equipment. However, some people refit the containers, open doors and windows, and carry out interior decoration, and then add beds, sofas and other furniture and electrical equipment to transform them into container houses. This way of living has both temporary and permanent, limited and infinite qualities, and its tension makes it the queen of change in architecture.
The first person to live in a container is impossible to test, but when it comes to container houses, I am afraid that many people will naturally think of the hippies in the United States in the 1960s, the hippie movement and the beat generation’s classic work “On the Road”. “There is always the shadow of “box trailer”. The hippies expressed their nationalism with communal vagabond lifestyles. The container house does not have high requirements on the environment and can be located on different terrains. Therefore, container houses can be arranged more conveniently in scenic spots. In this way, hotels, hotels, etc. in the scenic area do not need to be gathered together, and the hotels and local residential houses are matched and combined, so that tourists can get in touch with the local customs at close range, experience the food and life of the local people, and feel the culture of different regions. culture and lifestyle.
How to play a big charm?
Taking the combination of container modules as the main form, it has many characteristics such as removable, detachable, combinable, anti-corrosion, and long service life. With the advancement of modern manufacturing technology and the application of creative design techniques, the scope of use of container buildings is becoming more and more extensive, and it has transformed into a modern architectural form that combines practicability and functionality. In the development of campsites, containers can evolve into various forms such as leisure and entertainment centers, tourist reception centers and hotel resort centers. Its natural advantage is that it provides unlimited possibilities for the development of campsites.
Container houses usually use natural and environmentally friendly materials for transformation, which can be recycled and reused after reaching the service life, and the damage to the ecological environment is minimized; and the container house only needs to be assembled on site without large-scale civil engineering , which well maintains the integrity of the natural features and ecological environment in the area; container houses are usually temporary buildings. When the self-driving camp expands and functions are adjusted, the original facilities do not need to be abandoned, and can be flexibly relocated according to the needs of the camp , save resources and protect the environment; most of the materials of container houses are prefabricated in factories and assembled on site, which greatly shortens the construction period compared with brick-concrete structures. Due to the splicing method of assembly, the design of the house will change in the future, and the original materials can be used, and the construction is simple and flexible. In addition, container houses can well solve problems such as water supply, power supply, sewage and garbage disposal, and have great adaptability. The requirements for the construction site are low, and the desert, mountain, and seaside are all applicable ranges of mobile resort facilities.
Container houses have obvious differences in materials and structures from the brick-concrete houses that tourists live in daily. They have various styles and can provide tourists with a unique experience. Through the construction of container houses with different styles and configurations, it can meet the multi-level needs of tourists from ordinary guest rooms to holiday villas. Through the combination of itself and the site, it can achieve the multiple effects of harmonious symbiosis with the ecological environment and unified integration with the landscape. Usually in the more mature campgrounds, the mobile holiday facilities themselves become a major selling point of self-driving campsites, creating the unique regional charm of the campground.
The campsite itself is also a type of tourism real estate, but unlike traditional tourism real estate projects, campsites should consider more supporting services related to self-driving cars. Through the construction of resort facilities with different carriers, supporting high-quality additional services, gathering passenger flow, and achieving the unity of social and economic benefits are the key points for the sustainable development of the camp. The construction period of traditional civil engineering reception facilities is at least one year, while container houses can usually be completed within a few months, and the simultaneous construction and decoration can be realized. It can greatly shorten the construction cycle, achieve rapid operation, shorten the investment recovery period, and drive the rapid appreciation of surrounding real estate. Moreover, the construction and development of movable facilities are relatively weak, and the potential for secondary appreciation of land is huge.
At present, the contradiction between my country’s growing tourism land demand and the relatively scarce construction land index is very prominent. The construction of traditional civil engineering tourism and resort facilities requires a large amount of land, which is significantly restricted by land use indicators. “There are projects, funds, lack of land, and difficult implementation” is an embarrassing situation faced by many tourist areas, and it has also become a constraint to the implementation of tourism planning. important factor of economic growth. The construction of container houses can perfectly avoid the policy restrictions on tourist land and ensure the smooth implementation of the project; even during the normal operation period of the camp, it can minimize the interference to other tourists and ensure that tourists can be provided with first-class facilities anytime and anywhere. Tour experience; Another advantage of this model is that it can flexibly increase resort facilities according to the actual needs of the camp without affecting the normal operation of the camp.
Standard equipment for container houses or campsites
With the development of modern manufacturing industry, container house construction technology, material processing technology, and new material manufacturing technology are becoming more and more perfect, which has laid a realistic foundation for the widespread use of containers to a large extent. In the actual operation process, the deep integration with culture, creativity, folk customs, and landscape presents an increasingly high-quality, diversified, and stylized trend, with changing appearances, different themes, and a wide range of applications.
First of all, from the perspective of national standards and regulations, the characteristic movable resort facility area has become an important part of the value-added of campsites. In 2015, the “Recreational Campsite Construction and Service Specifications” issued by the National Standardization Management Committee raised the characteristic function area and the basic function area to the same important position, pointing out that the campsite should pass through container residential areas, wooden house resorts, and tent leisure areas. , The creation of entertainment facilities area to realize the specialization and value-added of self-driving camp.
Secondly, from the perspective of the construction and operation of campsites, campsites in our country are entering an era of simultaneous development of standardization and individualization, and movable container houses will become the standard configuration of campsites. Judging from the functional composition of the relatively mature campsites in my country at present, the characteristic functional areas such as the RV camp area, the characteristic tent area, and the wooden house villa area occupy a relatively large proportion.
Specific to the actual application scope, container houses can be applied in four aspects: 1. Comprehensive reception facilities, such as tourist service centers, shopping centers, etc.; 2. Leisure and vacation facilities, such as economical accommodation areas, high-end accommodation areas, characteristic accommodation areas, etc. ;3. Entertainment facilities, such as conference centers, chess and card rooms, children’s activity centers, etc.; 4. Basic supporting facilities, such as restaurants, laundry rooms, toilets, etc.
epilogue
Green, flexible, easy to install, and low-cost container buildings have become investment hotspots in the development of self-driving tours in my country. In the actual construction of the camp, the construction of container buildings should also pay attention to the in-depth integration with art and culture, so as to provide tourists with more diverse accommodation and leisure choices while also creating a better service experience.
