20ft Expandable House for Office in Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide Backyard Expandable House for Office

Located in Adelaide, Australia, the client wanted to create a separate, comfortable, and year-round usable office space in their backyard as an alternative to the high costs of renting an office.

After fully understanding their needs, UVO recommended a 20ft expandable container office house and made several customizations to meet their specific requirements.

The final space includes:

• A spacious and bright living/office area
• Separate enclosed office/room
• Separate bathroom
• A fully equipped kitchenette with refrigerator
• Fully circuitd lighting & air conditioning system
• Insulation suitable for the Adelaide climate

Client's Concerns | Weather and Layout Installation Issues

1. Will it adapt to Adelaide's weather?

Adelaide has a hot and dry climate. The client is concerned that "the container house might be too hot in summer and too cold in winter, affecting office comfort."

2. Limited backyard space; can the house be reasonably laid out?

The client's backyard is not large, but he wants:

• A separate office
• A bathroom
• A large communal work area
• Plus a kitchen

He's worried that 20 square feet of space won't be enough to accommodate all these features.

3. Will installation be troublesome and disrupt family life?

The client doesn't want a long construction period and cannot accept large-scale construction at home.

4. Is the container house safe and stable?

The client has questions about structural stability, wind resistance, and ground securing methods.
