An expandable container house is a type of prefabricated modular home that folds or slides out from a compact shipping container frame into a larger living space. Most designs start from a standard 20ft or 40ft container and can expand to provide up to 2–3 times more usable area after deployment.

These units often come pre-equipped with:

Interior walls

Electrical systems

Plumbing

Insulation

Windows & doors

Kitchen & bathroom setups (optional)

They’re often used in remote sites, temporary accommodations, disaster relief zones, glamping sites, and even for permanent residential use.
