Shipping Container Seoul Youth Zone is a comprehensive space for young people. Modern young people are suffering from the worries for the modern life and the problems that our society needs to solve, including questions related to love, marriage, human relations. This project, called 'Seoul Youth Zone', is a place where young people are centered on small solutions in zero gravity and free from various constraints. This project provides a place for young people's activities and culture exchange. The weightless zone is a platform for young people space and content. It includes a program where individuals and groups interact and work together. Considering the long-term development plan, budget and schedule, 40ft shipping container is used as the main material of the structure. Shipping container in this project symbolizes originality and challenge. The building was arranged considering conditions of the triangular shape of the building lot and the walking movement of the residents and planned to form a dynamic space so that originality and enterprising can be revealed in appearance as youth space.





Shipping container modules with uniform specifications cover a central lounge space for comprehensive activities, providing one large space, and internal spaces of the surrounding shipping container volumes are composed of spaces for seminar rooms, sharing kitchens, restrooms and office spaces. This configuration acts as a spatial lattice that enriches the relationship between the outer - inner space (container) - inner space - inner space (container) - outer space through container volume. Based on this, the space of each program functions effectively by combining and opening container modules. Rooms needed for equipment were collected and bundled into one volume, and the office and seminar rooms were expanded by combining two modules. When you come in through the tilted volume, you will find atrium, seminar room and open kitchen on the ground floor, where you can find space for relaxation, for events, communication and education. The seminar room expands to the atrium when the folding glass door is opened.

The two inclined sloping containers are the space for stairs and exhibition. Here visitors can have freedom to rest, communicate and enjoy an exhibition everywhere in the staircase. It provides an area full of comfort. The first space created with shipping container is utilized as a mini lounge receiving natural light. There is start-up and creative activities area on the second floor, six office spaces line up side by side with an inner balcony type hall overlooking the lower atrium. An independent office space is located at the end of the corridor.

About Living Project

Why sea containers?

When sea containers were developed in the 1930s, this was done with modularity in mind. The containers also had to be able to withstand every climate and weather. So they had to face freezing cold, storm, rain, snow and salt water. And that is why the sea container is built in such a way that it can withstand the toughest elements to protect the valuable cargo inside the container. Because containers are made from Corten, rust and corrosion cannot affect the containers.

Our container homes are turnkey homes based on standard sea containers, making them easily and with complete normal road and sea transport available worldwide in a completely finished form. The sea containers serve as a basis. They are then built down as houses. This type of home can be placed on any type of foundation and can be finished with any desired finish. It is of course also possible not to coat the container from the outside and to retain the industrial look.




Naturally, all containers can be easily linked and stacked if a larger surface area has to be created. In addition to housing, this way of construction can also be extremely suitable for student housing, temporary housing, refugee housing, garden houses, storage rooms, office spaces, holiday homes, etc.

Living Project uses only the most modern, efficient and sustainable materials and technologies to build your home. Thanks to the spacious factory and the skilled employees, we can be of quick and professional service. The basis of our modular homes are new or used standard sea containers, which are then fully finished in accordance with customer requirements.

The choice of materials for the construction of our container houses is countless. You can choose from aluminum or plastic frames with double or triple insulated / laminated glass, interior walls of robust wooden panels or walls that are smoothly plastered and painted white, a modern or classic kitchen or bathroom and so on. The choice is very extensive.

Naturally, all Living Project shipping container houses are well insulated. You can also choose from different insulation materials, each with its own values ​​and properties.

Container construction offers reliability, speed and functionality. It also offers risk-free and effective solutions that meet the requirements of private homeowners, investors, contractors, public and private institutions.

Our container construction offers the flexibility to build better structures with high precision. Steel guarantees reliability and speed.

Another major advantage of container construction is the fact that sea containers are self-supporting. This means that in an area with an earthquake risks, container houses will reliably stand.

Container construction also offers the possibility of designing various constructions that are not possible with traditional construction.

There are four types of sea containers that we use in our construction process. The dimensions of the standard ISO containers are as follows:

- 20ft ISO container (L) 6.06 m x (W) 2.44 m x (H) 2.59 m = 14.77 m² floor space
- 20ft ISO container HC (L) 6.06 m x (W) 2.44 m x (H) 2.90 m = 14.77 m² floor space
- 40ft ISO container (L) 12.19 m x (W) 2.44 m x (H) 2.59 m = 29.72 m² floor space
- 40ft ISO container HC (L) 12.19 m x (W) 2.44 m x (H) 2.90 m = 29.72 m² floor space

Living Project has a number of standard home models in the range. Of course it is also possible to build your own custom container home with unique layout and dimensions that meet your requirements.

Process

It is important that you know how the cooperation will work with us from the first contact to the moment we deliver your property. We divide this process into the phases listed below.

● Introduction / orientation (free)

In the introductory phase you, as a potential buyer / client, let us know if you are interested in our container construction. This often involves asking questions that have not yet been answered and discussing global ideas. In this phase we will work with you to see whether the global ideas you have are feasible in terms of design, permit, time limit, financing, etc.

● Design phase

In this phase, the plans are made more concrete, whereby you can clearly state what your wishes are. You can also show your own sketch designs, photos or other examples. We appreciate this very much, because it gives a good idea of ​​your wishes.

Based on our discussion, we make one or more 2D and / or 3D designs. The costs associated with this are € 100 per design with a maximum of two containers, € 200 per design with three to six containers and € 300 for a design with more than six containers. We can also send you a specified quotation based on the 3D design we have made.

The average starting price of a turnkey container home is around € 800 per square meter. It is true that as more containers are used, the square meter price will become (considerably) lower.




● Contract

The General Terms and Conditions apply to all agreements with Living Project, as you can find on our site. At your first request, a copy of our Terms and Conditions will be sent by post. The purchase / contracting agreement includes all drawings, calculations and descriptions with regard to the construction plan.

● Construction phase

After signing the purchase / contracting agreement, Living Project starts the preparations for the construction. You can stop by at any time to see how the work is progressing. If desired, we can keep you up-to-date by sending photos and videos.

● Delivery

During the delivery, we will check with you whether everything has been carried out properly and whether there are any delivery points that need to be resolved.
