20ft Expandable House in Wellington, New Zealand

Two 20ft container houses, an ideal home for two generations

In Wellington, New Zealand, a client chose two 20ft expandable houses from UVO, one for their own living space and the other for their parents. As seen in the pictures, the expanded house, when unfolded, forms a complete layout with two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen, fully meeting the basic needs and comforts of family life.

The interiors feature light colors paired with warm wood-grain floors, creating a clean, comfortable, and modern aesthetic. Each bedroom has ample natural light, and the spacious living room can accommodate a complete set of furniture, including a sofa, TV, and dining table. The L-shaped kitchen includes a refrigerator, cabinets, a double sink, and space reserved for appliances, making daily cooking effortless.

The client stated that having two separate homes for themselves and their parents allows family members to care for each other while maintaining good privacy, making it a highly cost-effective living arrangement.

Client Concerns: Why not choose a traditional house?

Before placing the order, the client had the following concerns:

Will the habitability meet the standards of a traditional house?

The client worried that mobile or prefabricated houses might have poor sound insulation, be cramped, and cold in winter. Could they really be lived in long-term?

Is there enough room for expansion? Is the layout practical?

The client needed a structure with two bedrooms, a separate kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom, but traditional container houses often have limited layouts.

Is the price really worth it?

Wellington's housing prices are expensive; even small apartments are prohibitively expensive. The client worried that choosing a mobile house might compromise quality.

Are all the appliances and living functions included?

The client wanted a house with all the functions of a family, including a TV, refrigerator, cooking area, and storage cabinets.
