20 foot Expandable House With Side Wings

Introducing our 20 Foot Expandable House With Side Wings — a revolutionary solution that redefines compact living with unmatched flexibility, functionality, and comfort. Designed to maximize space without compromising on portability, this expandable house combines the convenience of a standard 20-foot container footprint with the versatility of fold-out side wings, transforming from a compact transportable unit into a spacious, livable home in minutes.

Key Features & Structural Design

At its core, this expandable house features a durable, weather-resistant steel frame, built to meet international shipping container standards (ISO 1496-1) for ultimate durability and portability. The 20-foot base unit is engineered to be easily transported via truck, ship, or rail, making it ideal for remote locations, temporary housing, vacation getaways, or permanent residences. When expanded, the two fold-out side wings extend outward, instantly doubling (or more) the usable floor space — turning a compact 200+ square feet into a spacious 400-500 square feet of living area.

The side wings are supported by heavy-duty hydraulic or manual lifting mechanisms, ensuring smooth, secure expansion and retraction with minimal effort. Each wing is reinforced with structural beams and equipped with high-quality weatherstripping, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal when closed and excellent insulation when open. The exterior is finished with a corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance coating (available in various colors) to withstand harsh weather conditions, from extreme heat to heavy rain and snow.

Interior Comfort & Customization

Inside, the expandable house is designed for modern comfort and practicality, with a layout that can be fully customized to suit your needs. The standard configuration includes an open-plan living area, a compact kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, and one or two bedrooms — all optimized to make the most of the expanded space. The interior walls are pre-finished with fire-resistant, sound-insulating panels, creating a quiet, cozy environment year-round.

The kitchen comes equipped with essential appliances (optional upgrades include a mini-fridge, microwave, stovetop, and sink), while the bathroom features a water-saving toilet, shower, and vanity. Large double-glazed windows and sliding doors in the side wings flood the interior with natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a bright, airy atmosphere. Flooring options include durable vinyl, laminate, or hardwood, all designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and easy to clean.

Energy Efficiency & Sustainability

Our 20 Foot Expandable House With Side Wings is built with energy efficiency in mind, helping you reduce utility costs and minimize your environmental footprint. The walls, roof, and floor are insulated with high-performance foam insulation, which provides excellent thermal resistance — keeping the interior cool in summer and warm in winter. Optional solar panel installations can be added to power lighting, appliances, and other electrical needs, making the house off-grid capable.

Water-saving fixtures, rainwater collection systems (optional), and eco-friendly building materials further enhance the sustainability of this expandable home, making it a responsible choice for both temporary and permanent living.

Versatility & Applications

One of the greatest advantages of this expandable house is its versatility. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including:

- Permanent Residence: A cost-effective alternative to traditional housing, perfect for small families, retirees, or anyone seeking a minimalist lifestyle.

- Vacation Home/Cabin: Easily transported to remote or scenic locations, providing a comfortable getaway without the hassle of building a traditional cabin.

- Temporary Housing: Ideal for construction sites, disaster relief, or temporary work assignments, providing safe, comfortable accommodation for workers or displaced individuals.

- Guest House/Studio: A flexible addition to your existing property, serving as a guest room, home office, art studio, or rental unit.

- Glamping Site: A luxury camping option that combines the charm of outdoor living with the comfort of a modern home, perfect for eco-tourism businesses.

Portability & Installation

Despite its spacious expanded size, the 20-foot base unit is highly portable. It can be loaded onto a standard flatbed truck and transported to any location with accessible roads. Installation is quick and straightforward — once delivered, the side wings can be expanded in as little as 1-2 hours (depending on the mechanism), and the house can be connected to local utilities (water, electricity, sewage) or set up for off-grid living with minimal effort.

We also offer professional installation services to ensure your expandable house is set up safely and efficiently, so you can start enjoying your new space right away.
