9States Delivers Fast-Assembly Modular Offices for Shanghai Xuhui Urban Greening Company

9States is proud to share a recently completed project for the Shanghai Xuhui District Urban Greening Management Company — a municipal office building constructed entirely from fast-assembly modular box units.

Project at a Glance

• Location: Shanghai Xuhui District, China
• Total Units: Over 100 × 3m × 6m quick-fit modular boxes
• Wall Finish: Custom order — wood-grain color-coated steel panels
• Key Features: Staggered double-layer stacking, extended balconies, covered external staircase with canopy
•  

Design & Execution

The building uses a staggered stacking layout where pairs of boxes are offset when placed on the second floor. This creates naturally shaded outdoor balcony spaces on both levels — a feature that dramatically improves the overall aesthetic compared to traditional container block stacking.

The wood-grain color-coated steel wall panels were custom-ordered to match the green landscape management company's identity, giving the building a warm and professional appearance rather than the typical industrial look of modular units.

An external staircase with a built-in canopy was also added, ensuring all-weather access between floors during Shanghai's rainy season.

Why This Matters

This project demonstrates that modular construction is not limited to temporary worker camps or emergency housing. With the right design approach and customized finishes, fast-assembly box systems can deliver permanent-quality office buildings that are faster to build, more affordable, and every bit as visually appealing as traditional construction.
