Expandable Container House

An expandable container house ships as a single 20ft module and opens on site into two or three times its transport width. The double wing design folds the long side walls out on hinges, so the finished unit can be a studio, a one-bedroom apartment or a small office without any additional structural work on site.

The interior leaves the factory finished: flooring, ceiling, kitchen or wardrobe joinery, bathroom pod where specified, split air-conditioning, lighting and sockets are all installed and tested before packing. On arrival the crew levels the base, unfolds the wings, locks the hinge line, connects water and power, and the unit is ready to use — typically within one working day for a single module.

Typical applications

• Site offices, sales suites and temporary showrooms
• One and two bedroom staff housing on remote projects
• Resort, camp and glamping units where comfort matters
• Clinics, canteens and welfare buildings that need to open fast

Because the transport volume stays at one 20ft slot while the living area doubles or triples, expandable units usually cost less to ship per square metre than flat pack modules of the same floor area. That advantage grows on long routes and small orders.

Customisation

Layout, wall and floor finishes, window size, door position, kitchen and bathroom specification, solar and battery systems, and the electrical standard are all set per order on the production drawing.
