Two-Story Prefabricated Office Building with Staff Accommodation

One Building for Work and Accommodation

This two-story prefabricated building is designed for projects that require offices and staff accommodation at the same location.

By placing working areas on the ground floor and living spaces on the upper floor, the building reduces land use and avoids the need to construct two separate facilities.

The layout can be customized for different companies, workforce sizes and site conditions. It is suitable for both temporary projects and long-term operational use.

Flexible Ground-Floor Office Layout

The ground floor can be divided into employee offices, meeting rooms, financial offices, management offices, reception areas, storage rooms and public toilets.

In our completed Zimbabwe project, the office layout included workspaces for employees, a private financial room, an office for the company owner and a meeting room for internal discussions and receiving clients.

Room sizes and circulation areas can be adjusted according to the customer’s organizational structure and daily working requirements.

Private Staff Accommodation

The upper floor can include bedrooms, private bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room and shared living areas.

For the Zimbabwe project, nine staff bedrooms were created on the second floor. Every bedroom included a private bathroom, giving employees greater privacy and avoiding the inconvenience of shared shower facilities.

The quantity and size of the bedrooms can be adjusted according to the number of occupants and the required level of comfort.

Natural Lighting and Coated Glass

Large glazed sections can be installed along the external corridors to bring more daylight into both floors and make the interior feel brighter and more open.

The Zimbabwe building used Ford blue reflective coated glass to create a modern blue appearance and help reduce glare and part of the solar exposure.

Coated glass is an optional configuration. Customers can also choose standard glass, double-glazed aluminum windows, sliding glass doors or customized curtain-wall systems.

Four-Slope Roof and Rainwater Drainage

A four-slope metal roof can be added to improve drainage in areas with concentrated seasonal rainfall.

The inclined roof guides rainwater toward the outer edges of the building, reducing the possibility of water remaining on the roof surface. It also provides additional protection for the modular structure and creates a more permanent architectural appearance.

Roof shape, drainage details and exterior color can be adjusted according to the local climate and building design.

Solar-Ready Structural Design

For projects located in areas with an unstable electricity supply, Dongji House can reinforce the roof structure for a future solar energy system.

The expected weight, mounting arrangement and installation area should be provided before the structural drawings are finalized. This allows the required roof support to be incorporated during production and reduces the need for later structural modification.

Efficient Transportation and Local Assembly

The steel frames, wall panels, doors, windows and related accessories are packed in knock-down form to improve container-loading efficiency.

In the Zimbabwe project, 18 prefabricated modules were loaded into one 40HQ container. This loading quantity is specific to that project. The capacity of other shipments will depend on the module dimensions, materials, interior equipment and packing requirements.

Dongji House provides component identification, installation drawings and technical guidance. Local workers can complete the assembly with remote support or on-site supervision, depending on the project.

The main structural installation of the Zimbabwe building was completed in approximately 20 days by a local team under technical guidance.

• Integrated Functional Design

Office and accommodation areas are combined in one structure, reducing land use and simplifying project coordination.

• Customizable Interior Layout

The number and size of offices, meeting rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and shared areas can be adjusted.

• Private Bathroom Option

Each bedroom can include its own toilet, washbasin and shower for improved privacy and hygiene.

• Modular Steel Structure

Multiple prefabricated modules can be connected to create a larger two-story building based on the required capacity.

• Climate-Responsive Roof Design

Flat, single-slope or multi-slope roofs can be designed according to rainfall, drainage and architectural requirements.

• Optional Solar Roof Support

Additional reinforcement can be prepared when solar-panel loads and mounting information are provided in advance.

• Integrated Building Systems

Electrical wiring, lighting, sockets, water supply, drainage and sanitary fixtures can be included according to project requirements.

• Economical Knock-Down Packing

Compact packing helps reduce shipping space, while clearly identified components support efficient on-site assembly.

Q1. Can the office and accommodation layout be customized?

Yes. Dongji House can adjust the number and size of offices, meeting rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and dining areas according to your land dimensions, staff capacity and operating requirements. A customized floor plan can be prepared before quotation and production.

Q2. Can every bedroom have a private bathroom?

Yes. Each bedroom can be equipped with a private bathroom containing a toilet, washbasin and shower. Plumbing routes and sanitary fixtures can be incorporated into the design before production. Shared bathroom configurations are also available when required.

Q3. Can the roof support solar panels?

Yes. The roof structure can be reinforced for solar-panel installation. Please provide the estimated panel weight, mounting arrangement and installation area before the structural design is finalized. The solar mounting system must also be installed according to the approved structural plan.

Q4. How is the internal drainage system designed?

Each bathroom can be fitted with a waterproof shower base and concealed drainage pipes beneath the floor. The kitchen drainage can be connected to the same main drainage route as the bathroom, allowing wastewater to discharge through a coordinated piping system. The final pipe layout and outlet positions will be designed according to the floor plan and site drainage conditions.
