20ft Expandable House in Canberra, Australia

Creating a Comfortable and Secure Independent Living Space for a Mother

Located in Canberra, the capital of Australia, the client wanted to build a granny flat on their property for their mother's daily living.
Compared to traditional construction methods, which are time-consuming, costly, and involve complex approval processes, the client preferred a solution that was quick to implement, fully functional, comfortable, and safe.  They ultimately chose the UVO 20ft expandable house.

This 20ft expandable house, once unfolded, forms a complete and bright living space with a rational layout and clear circulation:

• Open-plan living space: Ample natural light, with multiple windows perfectly suited to Canberra's sunshine conditions.
• L-shaped custom kitchen cabinets: Meeting the mother's daily cooking needs, easy to use, and providing ample storage.
• Separate bathroom: Wet and dry areas are separated, equipped with a shower, toilet, and sink.
• SPC flooring throughout: Extending from the living room to the bathroom (excluding the shower area), it is moisture-proof, non-slip, and easy to clean.
• Flexible furniture configuration: The client chose to purchase furniture locally, better suiting their mother's lifestyle and preferences.

The overall space is designed with "safety + comfort + ease of use" as the main focus, making it ideal as an independent living unit for elderly people.

Climate and Client Considerations | Why Choose This Configuration?

Canberra has a typical temperate continental climate, with cold winters, large diurnal temperature variations, and dry summers with long hours of sunshine. When planning the granny flat for his mother, the client's main concerns were not only the speed of installation but, more importantly, the long-term comfort and stability of the dwelling.

During the communication process, the client focused on several key questions:

• Does the house have good insulation performance in winter?
• Are the flooring materials suitable for a dry climate with large temperature fluctuations?
• Is the interior layout simple and safe enough for his mother's daily life?
