Expandable Container House

An expandable container house is a prefabricated, modular home that can be efficiently transported in a compact, folded state and then opened on-site to nearly triple its usable living space. This innovative design provides a quick, flexible, and often more affordable housing solution than traditional construction methods. 

Unique Features

Expandable Design: The core feature is the ability to expand outwards using a "double-wing" or folding mechanism, turning a compact unit into a spacious living area typically around 37 m² (for a 20ft unit) or 74 m² (for a 40ft unit).

Ease of Transport: When folded, several units can fit into a single standard shipping container, significantly reducing logistics and transportation costs.

Rapid Assembly: Installation is remarkably fast; some models can be fully assembled by a small team within a few hours or even minutes.

Pre-fitted Utilities: Most units come with basic electrical wiring (lights, sockets, distribution box) and plumbing for bathrooms and kitchens pre-installed at the factory, requiring only simple external connections on site.

Durability and Materials: They are typically built with a high-strength galvanized steel frame and insulated sandwich panels (e.g., EPS or glass wool), offering good resistance to wind, seismic activity, and temperature fluctuations.

Customization: Layouts are highly flexible and can be customized to include multiple bedrooms, full kitchens, and bathrooms, fitting various residential, commercial, or emergency needs.
