Product Overview

A clear, homeowner-focused overview designed for private residential living and personal ownership.

Key Project Narrative

Our double-wing expandable homes are designed for private residential living, offering a fast, flexible, and comfortable housing solution for individual homeowners. Each unit is factory-built and delivered in a compact form, then unfolds on-site into a full-size living space with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living areas.

Unlike traditional construction, the expandable structure minimizes site work, reduces build time, and avoids lengthy permitting and labor-intensive processes. This makes it an ideal solution for homeowners seeking a permanent or semi-permanent residence without the complexity of conventional building projects.

Widely adopted by customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, our expandable homes are commonly used as backyard ADUs, vacation homes, off-grid residences, retirement housing, or private rental units. Built with durable steel frames, high-performance insulation, and residential-grade finishes, each home delivers long-term comfort, mobility flexibility, and strong asset value.

Structure & Materials

A high-strength galvanized steel frame forms the core structure of this expandable container house, ensuring exceptional durability and weather resistance. The wall and roof panels use insulated sandwich materials—EPS, Rock Wool, or PU—to deliver excellent thermal and acoustic performance in all climates.

Every unit is engineered to withstand long-term outdoor use, frequent transportation, and rapid deployment. All components, including flooring, waterproof sealing, electrical systems, and windows/doors, follow international standards suitable for GCC, EU, AU, and African markets.
