Apple Cabin Models Compared
Updated 2026-11-01 · JIUJIAN GLOBAL technical team
The single pod is a shell for sleeping or an office, the studio suite adds a bathroom and kitchenette for self-contained hospitality use, and the double-storey version doubles the floor area on the same footprint. Pick the pod for cost and speed, the suite for paying guests who expect a private bathroom, and the double-storey unit when land is limited or the site has a view worth stacking for.
The three apple cabin configurations share a frame and a panel system, so the decision is about floor area, service level and the permit route rather than about construction quality.
Side by side
| Model | Typical use | What it includes | Permit weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single pod | Glamping, office, sauna, studio | Shell, glazing, electrical, no wet core | Lightest |
| Studio suite | Self-contained guest unit | Pod plus bathroom, shower, kitchenette | Moderate |
| Double-storey | Family unit, reception building, view site | Two levels, internal stair, services riser | Full building permit |
Choosing on economics
The studio suite carries the biggest revenue per unit in hospitality: guests pay for a private bathroom, and a shared facility block costs site works and staff time. The pod wins where the site already has a central ablution building. The double-storey unit only makes sense where land cost or a planning constraint makes a second level cheaper than more land.
What to specify in all three
- Panel thickness matched to the climate, not the catalogue default.
- Glazing with a low solar gain coating if the unit faces west.
- Air conditioning sized after the envelope is fixed.
- External finish that can be repaired locally; a damaged panel should not require a factory order.
