Prefab modular houses: luxury container hotel in high altitude

At an altitude of 3,200 meters in Almaty, Kazakhstan, there is a unique hotel. This is a luxury prefabricated modular container house, which not only challenges the limits of architecture, but also becomes one of the highest hotels in the world.

Since the construction location is at a high altitude, considering the protection of the ecological environment, the construction team decided to adopt the method of prefab houses. Each house of this container hotel is 30 square meters and is assembled from three modules of 4.5 × 2.7 × 3.15 meters in size. These modules are all prefabricated in the factory and then transported to remote mountainous areas by customized large sleds and bulldozers.

Due to the low temperature and harsh climate in high-altitude areas. The construction team chose steel frames, aluminum sandwich panels and environmentally friendly asbestos as the structural materials of prefabricated modules. These materials are not only strong and durable, but also have good thermal insulation properties and can cope with earthquakes and harsh mountain climates.

This prefabricated modular container hotel is installed on steel columns to reduce the impact on the snow. Since most of the construction is completed in the factory, the time of on-site construction and the generation of industrial waste are minimized. The method of prefabricated modules effectively improves construction efficiency and reduces production costs.

In addition, the architectural appearance of this prefabricated modular container hotel is unique and beautiful. The architectural team took into account the impact of wind and snow on the building and adopted a geometric design. This design is not only ornamental, but also conducive to withstanding wind and snow.

This prefabricated modular container hotel is not only an architectural wonder, but also a bold attempt at sustainable architecture and ecotourism.
