Luxury Container Home

This luxury container-type dwelling in Regau, Austria was designed with the high snow loads of the region in mind. The unit is transported by truck and positioned on site by craning from six lifting points. Accordingly, the structural design covered not only occupancy and climate loads but also the vibration and dynamic effects arising during road transport and the internal forces generated while being lifted by crane. Members and connections were assessed under these load cases to provide the required structural safety.
