Expandable container house
Expandable units are useful when buyers need more usable interior area with faster site deployment than traditional construction.
- Good for homes, offices, dormitories, resorts and temporary accommodation
- Compare 20ft and 40ft layouts before ordering
- Confirm foundation, opening space, interior package and loading plan
Foldable and detachable container house
Foldable units prioritize speed and transport efficiency. Detachable units prioritize modular layouts and repeated assembly for larger compounds.
- Foldable for emergency shelter, temporary camps and rapid relocation
- Detachable for construction site offices, worker dormitories and multi-room layouts
- Mixed projects can combine both models by function
Apple Cabin, Space Capsule and Trend Container
Guest-facing and commercial projects usually need stronger exterior style, interior finish and customer experience than temporary site buildings.
- Apple Cabin for glamping, scenic stays, offices and small cabins
- Space Capsule House for hotels, resorts and immersive accommodation
- Trend container house for cafes, retail, events and branded commercial spaces
How to choose before asking for price
A useful quote starts from the use case, not only the product name. Send enough context so the factory can recommend a realistic configuration.
- Project use: home, office, camp, hotel, shop, shelter or mixed compound
- Quantity, destination country, destination port and timeline
- Floor plan, climate, insulation, interior scope and local code concerns
