Folding Houses
A house that travels folded inside a shipping container and opens out on site.
Expandable container homes are often called folding houses. Ours travel closed at 5,800 × 2,150 × 2,500 mm, two to a 40' high-cube container, and open out on site to 5,800 × 6,580 × 2,500 mm — 34 m² (365 sq ft) of living space.
