DXH Container House stands at the nexus of avant-garde technology for delivering fast housing solutions through state-of-the-art modular design. This case study delves into a somewhat recent project handled in Saudi Arabia to illustrate our capability to design and implement multi-storey modular accommodation buildings. These prefab steel buildings have rigorous quality standards, are superior in durability, and have limited deployment time to serve the emerging residential and workforce housing demands in the region.
The objective of this project was to create an amenity-uniform and elegant 3-storey accommodation building within Saudi Arabia. The primary challenges were how to reduce construction duration in response to urgent housing demands; how to achieve structural strength and good comfort of living for occupants in a tough climate; and lastly, how to implement sustainable building solutions that are appropriate in the local context. The solution also had to be scalable, capable of being extended at a future date, and culturally considerate in its design.
DXH Container House adopted a fully modular construction method for this accommodation project. This approach allowed for site preparation in Saudi Arabia to go on in parallel with off-site fabrication of the modules, thereby considerably speeding up the project lifecycle. The integrated design and engineering gave the advantage of having smooth coordination of the entire process end-to-end from concept to realization, while emphasizing climate-responsive design requirements.
The project started with highly considered architectural planning to cook up living spaces that felt comfortable and functional for daily use. The detailed floor plan below reflects the strategic allocation of spaces within combined accommodation units and common areas, to ensure maximum efficiency, optimum natural light penetration wherever required, and smooth circulation throughout the 2-storey building. This fundamental blueprint was critical for the precise manufacturing of each modular component.
For complete elucidation on the structural assemblage and interior configuration of the buildings, detailed 3D modeling was undertaken. The isometric cut-away view below unravels the intricate engineering in the modular framework-one that shows in the coalescence of individual units into a strong and integrated 2-storey building designed to withstand local environmental conditions, aided refinement of the design attributes so that all systems, such as HVAC, etc., fit perfectly.
The exterior of the building was designed with a balanced approach between modern-day aesthetics and practical utilitarianism to best fit the Saudi Arabian setting. The below photorealistic rendering illustrates the level of sophistication achieved in the facade design, which is an ultimate amalgam of high-quality durable materials such as textured wood-look panels (selected for both aesthetic and performance traits) and sleek light-colored siding to reflect solar radiation. The windows are large with proper shading arrangements to maximize daylighting while minimizing heat gain, thus creating comfortable and energy-efficient interior living spaces. While this rendering depicts a multi-story concept, the principles of design and quality of materials provided are equally applicable to the 2-story accommodation.
Fast-track Project Schedule: Simultaneous off-site fabrication and site preparation substantially reduce the total construction time―a must for rapid housing delivery.
Higher Cost Predictability: Standardized operations and fewer workers on-site assist in precise budgeting and cost control for big accommodation projects.
Better Quality Assurance: Built in a climate-controlled modular factory, stringent quality standards can be enforced to guarantee quality even under harsh weather conditions.
Environmentally Conscious Solution: Less disturbance to the site, optimized use of materials that produce less waste, and energy considerations on design―all count toward creating a greener building.
Design Freedom and Customization: An ample amount of architectural freedom is offered by DXH's modular system to transform the accommodation to suit disparate occupant needs and local aesthetic preferences.
Climate-Resilient Design: Particular attention is paid to material selection and design features that address the Saudi climate, among others, to heat and dust.
