Located opposite the Dali Department Store in Kaohsiung, at the intersection of Wufu Road and Wenwu Road, stands an eye-catching container building. With its stacked steel container structure supported by a reinforced concrete frame, its distinctive design stands out vividly from the surrounding architecture.

This is a 10-story container hotel led by the architectural firm Lin Zhidé Architecture. Using innovative design to minimize heat gain and air conditioning loss, the Container Hotel creates an urban green building. Now, you don’t need to go abroad – you can experience such a novel living space right here in Taiwan.

In addition to the Container Hotel, both Taiwan and Hong Kong feature unique residential and lodging options such as pipe homes, including the recently popular 3-ping pipe home in Hong Kong.These are created by transforming large concrete water pipes into compact living spaces.Each unit comes equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and living area – not only reflecting the difficulty of buying property in Hong Kong but also aiming to help alleviate the issue of high housing costs.
