Expandable Container House — One Container, Two to Three Times the Living Space
Folding container homes that ship as a standard 20ft module and expand on site in under an hour. Full kitchen, bathroom and bedroom layouts available.
An expandable container house solves the oldest problem in modular building: you want a real home with real living space, but you also want to pay container freight. The unit ships folded inside standard container dimensions, then the side walls — and on some models the end wall — unfold outwards on site, creating a room up to three times the folded footprint.
Because the interior is finished at the factory, the buyer gets an apartment-standard interior with the logistics cost of a container.
