In rapidly developing urban and tourism real estate markets, increasingly scarce land resources, lengthy construction cycles, and high costs are common challenges faced by many investors and homeowners. While traditional single-story container houses offer the advantage of rapid construction, their spatial limitations become apparent in projects requiring larger living areas, more sophisticated designs, or better views. YG’s 2-story container home represents a new direction in modular architecture. In addition to offering popular products like standard 20-ft and 40-ft folding container houses, YG focuses on using professional structural reinforcement and integrated design to safely and reliably stack these robust container units, creating fully functional double-story spaces. This significantly increases the usable floor area, clearly defining the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms on both levels, and also provides the possibility of a second-floor viewing terrace. Choosing a 2-story container home means choosing a low-cost, high-efficiency, and space-utilizing modern building model.

Working Principle of a 2-Story Shipping Container Home
Modular Prefabrication: In the factory, containers are cut to create window and door openings. Interior flooring is laid, water and electricity pipes are pre-installed, and insulation is installed, forming independent “modular units.”
On-Site Lifting: After the modular units are transported to the site, the bottom unit is first placed on a prefabricated foundation.
Structural Stacking and Connection: A crane is used to precisely place the second-layer container modules onto the bottom module. A key step is the corner connection: using high-strength bolts, welding, or specialized corner fittings, the bottom corner fittings of the upper container and the top corner fittings of the lower container are securely fixed together to form a stable overall structure.
Functional Connection: After the structural connection is completed, on-site workers weld the internal staircase, connect the water and electricity pipe interfaces between the upper and lower layers, and finally install the external wall panels, making the entire 2-story shipping container home a fully functional unit.
YG 2-story Container Home Features & Specifications
Dual-level vertical layout: It offers a vertical space design, with the lower level serving as a public area (living room, kitchen) and the upper level as a private area (bedroom, study), clearly defining functional boundaries.
High degree of factory prefabrication: Over 80% of the electrical and plumbing wiring, interior wall finishes, and door and window installations are completed in YG’s own factory, requiring only hoisting and simple connections on-site.
Modular and flexible combination: Multiple containers can be combined horizontally and vertically (stacked) to meet different area requirements.
Superior wind and earthquake resistance: The container structure itself is robust, and after reinforcement, its wind resistance can reach level 12 or higher, and its earthquake resistance can reach level 8, far exceeding ordinary light steel structures.
Rapid installation and mobility: On-site installation can be completed in as little as one week, and the house can be completely disassembled or relocated to a new site when needed.
Australian and Canadian Customers Purchased YG 2-Story Folding Houses for Different Purposes
Case Study 1: Employee Dormitories in a Remote Mine on Australia’s West Coast
Client Background: A large mining company in Western Australia needed to quickly construct a batch of high-standard employee dormitories in a remote inland mining area. The region has a hot climate and faces stringent field fire prevention requirements.
Problem Solved: Traditional construction methods in remote areas are extremely costly and time-consuming, and must meet Australia’s stringent building and fire safety standards (especially for the arid inland environment).
Product Used: YG’s 2-story container homes (approximately 150㎡ of dormitory space) are composed of multiple standard container units. The interior uses high-grade rock wool insulation, and the exterior walls are decorated and protected with fire-resistant metal panels.
Results: The client adopted YG’s 2-story container home solution, effectively utilizing the limited land in the mining area to provide 24 high-standard living units. Because the main structure of the houses was prefabricated in the factory, the hoisting and connection of all dormitories was completed on-site in just two weeks, significantly shortening the infrastructure construction cycle of the mining area. Furthermore, the steel structure of the containers and the selected fire-resistant materials fully comply with local Australian fire regulations, ensuring residential safety in extreme climates.
Client Testimonial: “In the Australian outback, the advantages of 2-story shipping container homes are obvious. Not only is construction fast, allowing us to start operations sooner, but their structural strength and fire resistance also give us greater peace of mind regarding oversight. YG’s double-layer design is the best solution to our accommodation problem in the mining area.”
Case Study 2: Temporary Student Housing Project in Vancouver, Canada
Client Background: A university in Vancouver, Canada, urgently needed to quickly and economically add a batch of temporary student dormitories to address a housing shortage before the start of the semester.
Problem Solved: The project had to comply with strict local building and fire regulations and needed to be completed within a very short timeframe.
Product Used: YG used a row of 2-story container homes (12 single-room dormitories) composed of multiple container units.
Results: YG’s 2-story container home solution, through professional structural reinforcement and fire-resistant materials, successfully passed local building permit approvals. Rapid modular installation enabled the delivery and use of all dormitory units within 10 days, successfully resolving the school’s urgent needs.
Client Testimonial: “We chose container construction primarily for its speed. YG’s double-layered solution provides maximum living space on limited land and fully complies with safety standards, making it the best solution for emergency situations.”
