Hello, welcome to the official thread for Container House Malaysia Movement.
This thread was pinned by Lowyat moderator as their support for the novelty of this idea.

Hi, my name is Muhamad Azree and I am currently running a project with codename: The Container House

Provided below is the main resources where you can view photos, videos and reading material of the progress



The project is already reached the phase where further modification is being completed at 84%
it is now progressing on:

1. Extending the second storey of the house and placing a proper roofing for passive insulation and shading
2. Completing the kitchen area (doing a table top with proper sink, storage and cooking area)
3. Completing a concrete structure for the toilet that is detached from the main container structure (should one day I am moving to a different land)

I would like to send my appreciation to all lowyat members who's giving ultimate supports and responds throughout this journey
For being among the first pioneer in such project in Malaysia is indeed a butthurt to me and reading a negative respond / comment / hate & condemn without justification worseing the situation. But I will keep the positive vibes to endure such resistance.

Thanks to those who wish to come and even those who has visited the project location so far. Your effort to come with a very little attention given from me (i was being busy) is appreciated

I am looking forward for a gathering of lowyat members once I am satisfied with the house / when it is visitable
The house is located at Kampung Sijangkang, Teluk Panglima Garang.

If you still wondering and asking such controversial questions, I will instead replying that: This is my way, my home and my effort

Keep the discussion running with positivity. Morale supports is valuable for the moment for a momentous progress.

You can PM me for personal question or acquire my contact number there should you insisted to visit any sooner

If any of you who whises to give material supports, I will be pleased to accept only items, not wang ringgit. You can consider donating fruitable plant, seeds, used items, drawing, ideas or anything that won't cost you any. I prefer to watch the things to grow around my compound and having great memory and story behind it.

The official 1st visitor to the house from Lowyat is proxymate and thank you for coming and supporting. I am pleased with your generosity

hugs and loves
Muhamad Azree
The Container House, Sijangkang

ada happy ending tak?

house owner will personally make sure u have a happy ending stay...

buat kat kluang ke?

ko ni biar betul?

There will be a queen size bed on top of the entertainment area. i made a platform 5 feet high as u can see from the inside of the container with ladder.

I design my own, but sub the job to a workshop
so they will help realizing the design

insulation i will do my own

good luck man, i sapok u

macham yes je.

sorry, no sex allowed in the container, sked ada new genre bangcontainer , bangbus no longer relevant haha

not bad

if achik1990 joins, sure happy u guys lol

later, "pang pang pang" noise and earthquake inside

no, i make it at selangor

bought a land here and will place the container there

design looks good,
can't wait for the real stuff to be completed.

dude... u should sandblast the paint off and coat it with rust treatment or it would be hazardous to your health...

masih betul walaupun tersasar sedikit dari landasan kebenaran

yeah i am weirdo

bro, where to place this container?

Look like cost a lot of money also... you are rich lah.

bro masa raining mesti bising siot

tq, hope u come on container warming
no need to bring potluck, bring 2 vase of plant / pokok is enough already, so i can tanam and u can have good dying story to your granchild

bukan pasal apa bro, but the container is made of iron.

kalau ko tak hangus, ada aircond ke.......lol.

ur wall n floor use what? ceiling? gonna have a roof or not?


still got land to sell nearby or not? jelly now, haha

hm... will call me random be happy in this?

is it big enuf for munkey?

SEPANG bro....?

means? you're to donate for staycation?
Hehe

thanks, but i feel bad now

have 2 weeks left before i leave my rumah sewa

ey, how do you handle ventilation ?
serious question here ...

do you use inline/axial fans coupled with carbon filters or just normal exhaust fans ??

Land berapa sq ft? What u will do with remaining land

how do you fend of the heat accumulation inside the container

i make it soundproof ler haha

kimak ts pm him no reply 1

thanks

i myself cant wait too
everyday waking up at 3 am worrying

its not an easy task anyway

yup they will do it for me with new painting etc
it will be blue in color, not green as i designed, takut tak meletop bila snap picture rumput green house also green

i bought a piece of land in (10KM) from Aeon Bukit Tinggi
and will be 30 minutes drive to workplace in Shah Alam with traffics

container looks kind of small conmpared to what we see overseas.

So far
all expenses around RM50K, considering remarkable as i bought a land for 35K and 15K for container works

so... i have nothing to worried anymore about housing as I am making 5 years personal loan.

no hutang until pencen etc, 5 years settle hopefully

the land is 2400 kaki persegi luasnya

2 terrace house size

actually, this is not something completed, i even ordered a pole to be placed on top of the container as additional roofing and lepaking area for kawan2 makan n main carom or pingpong etc

it will helps reduce the heat and rain sounds too

just wait and see how lah ya

what about security?

aircond ada, and please... dont speak out of typicality
technology kan ada

heat is not the issue, the issue is are we malaysian ready to live inside a container ? or muttering about harga rumah with no ending?
and aircond i will put lah of coz

Land 2400 sqft for RM35K so cheap... damn.
Why not just build wooden / papan house? It can look nice too.

Hope I can buy a 2 terrace land here in PJ for that price...

Install solar panel on top of that roof bro.

How much for the container price?

😮😨😑

wao, good good
at least u dun tok kok sing song
cant wait to see ur end product
tag me when finish

the floor, u know the wood rumah org kaya tu? ya, i use that one, but made of rubber and 5mm thick, more silent compared to wooden flooring rumah banglo

roof? yes, 16feet wide 8 feet tall

still got land? yes, for bumi, starting from 35K

2400sqft

ask her send u pic.. see u will happy or not?

i think all of kopitiam would want to wish you luck on your project bro.
once finish ajak for potluck bbq at your place, sure ramai want to come.

i sappok your project.

we can compact 120 live monkeys with piles of banana, still ada ruang for lucifah too lol

but this munkye has huge rack. hao leh?

wah so can be jiran ah? lol

kg sijangkang, coordinate will be released soon, lol

for donors only haha

i still belip call me random is a guy

i already jelly and got ask him b4.. but he say bumi land..sigh..
nevermind,. buy under your name can ar?

this.


TS, why not just hire a contractor and build a house? Sure cheaper and not inflated price like those built by developer

posting in soon to be legendary thread

From what i see from Google, those nice ones need at least 2 containers.
No way one is enough.

Really impressed by all your efforts. Sure there will be challenges but you guys are the pioneer in this relatively new thing in Malaysia.

last time ms. __ u got think is guy or not?

support u ts, at least u dare to try

make sure u create a thread here once u complete, i would like to c the results too

if dis works out, i bet many many malaysians will want to folo and hav container house too, n u will b damn famous n appear on tv , newspaper etc

looks more of a chalet rather than a house

i like this question


many asked what about heat problem

simple je, if you expose the metal to sun directly, the heats expanding inside the container

but if you insulate from outside

you dont even let the heat reach the container, so no interior insulation needed, do it externally

in which i will use roof 8 feet high, used pallet outside

i have an exhaust fan and aircond, exhaust to be ran 24/7 using solar hopefully if ada money extra

kalau aku la...aku beli bata,simen,pasir... buat rumah bentuk sama cam container tapi 2x ganda saiz... lagi besar...lagi jimat...masalah panas xde

how huge?

2400 sqft in area

u wanna join me in? come la, put your container, pay me land rent like 300/month, lol

but dont waste your money that way, 300 X 5 X 12 = 18K
better buy a land and do your own, up to 50K only, 5 years personal loan will do

thats actually looks fun!

is the land belongs to u.. else ur container house is illegal

i will not allow the heat accumulating inside the container, hence my solution is by external insulation, so heat wont reach my metal sides with 100% exposure

it's called laminated flooring

the material is either MDF or recycled rubber. if you want to save cost, use 12mm waterproof plywoods instead

and as for the kalebet u keep saying, it's actually culvert

if you need water supply, just use a 90-deg TEE and connect it from any existing pipeline that belongs to you (or your neighbor)

you'd also need some form of ventilation, so a 2-fan system will be the easiest. you'd need another ventilation fan inside the toilet for obvious reasons

you will need noise insulation for the upper deck. when it rains, it will be quite deafening inside

the easiest way to insulate is to use 2" rock wool and fix it to the underside of the upperdeck with 2" chicken wire mesh (easily available). weld some 3" steel rod so u can tie the chicken wire mesh. it will look ugly, so cover it up with 9mm plywoods.

good luck.

tengkiu ts for looking out for the homeless pipu

noble idea but local authorities approved? sked later they come ur land and roboh ur containerhaus

mana ada ko PM aku setan haha

where is she ah?

Will it be heaty?

eh, my undivided attention and seal clap for your get it done attitude.

salute. tabik.

happy huge.

happy size.

u tell me la.. u so lovey dovey last time..

This is great!! I support your ideas.

TS, have u seen the design of The Cabin in Langkawi? I think it is based on the same concept and it has toilets!!!

And make it modular in a way it can be upgraded maybe by joining 2 or more containers for expansion.

Also, google bronte attic. It has a modular bathroom.

Parking

eh rubber chips also become laminated wood flooring?

good question
but i feels slightly secured when my nearest neighbour is so friendly and helpful
he's 40 yo, have 4 kids and loving wife

i am surrounded from 3 sides with around 10 houses, 1 side only bushes

so security wise, i will install cctv an siren maybe and near sensor like car reverse method

yup. apparently, they have too much waster tyres and nowhere to dump them

burning them to get the metals inside is not allowed by DOE

so there's this research to shred it to chips

they also mix it to the tarmac to make the roads less noisy and more grippy. they say lah. i read only

tabuli ini machem

ic.. would love to see ur overall design actually.. like what u put the container on etc.. got somekind of verandah or not..

as for the many concern arised fr others here, rest assured as long as the insulation is well installed, shouldnt hv any trouble about the heat.
speaking fr years of experience haha
despite hv the aircond installed, i always turn it off, lol

35k+.. noted

btw do you need to get some permission from the majlis daerah/bandaraya like other people building house?

Hi, TS i personally loves these kind of house.
Check out Kirsten Dirksen on youtube.
They have alot of container, small houses idea video all around the world.
Best of luck !

Congrats bro.
Geran kongsi? Cash payment?
For rm15k for the container, still acceptable..
If u have budget u can construct small house.
It's doable but really2 need to control budget. Maybe minimum rm30k for small house..

i know they lay the floors with rubber chips... and probably rubber paint

but how to make into slabs of interlock laminated wooden flooring using rubber?

[QUOTE]

Bro later if panas your lantai will expand and bend yo

actually, theres many land nearby klang valley

its time to not to buy anywhere closer to city for convenience
everywher have their own convenience too

but the price is killing

so let's move forward to live life sustainably
yes its slightly harder for short period of time, but a bucket full of ease in the future

terrace house in shah alam is 500K minimum, 1400 sqft bayar sampai pencen

why must we buy a terrace with less privacy, growing area for kid, selfish neighbour, bangla security etc

i know to some that is convenience, but for me, i hate living life in terrace area

selfish people, x boleh harap security, car parks problem etc

mine cost RM11300 with modification and logistic
but to have a neat one, RM15K is just enough

depends on budget

compressed and using some kind of glue / resin

just like MDF

is what i think la. need to research more
