Expandable House (40ft) Delivered to California, USA
Customized 40ft Expandable House for Long-Term Owner-Occupancy
Located in California, USA, this project saw the client, after extensive comparison of various prefabricated housing options, ultimately choose to partner with UVO to customize a 40ft expandable house for their long-term personal residence.
The house is a standard 40ft in its shipping configuration and can be quickly unfolded upon arrival on-site to create a complete and comfortable living space.
The overall layout features three bedrooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom, with clear spatial divisions that meet the needs of family life while ensuring privacy and functionality.
For the exterior, the client custom-designed 2mm thick colored steel cladding, ensuring structural strength while enhancing overall weather resistance and a modern look, perfectly suited to California's variable climate.
Client Questions | Long-Term Use and Material Issues
At the project's outset, the client raised many key questions, which are common concerns for almost all owner-occupier clients in North America:
1、Is the space truly suitable for long-term living?
Will the actual living experience after the expandable house is unfolded approach that of a traditional residence?
2、Are the structure and materials robust enough?
Given California's strong sunlight and large temperature variations, is the house's durability and safety reliable?
3、What about the integrity and installation difficulties after shipping to the United States?
Will international shipping affect the overall quality? Will complex on-site construction be required?
4、Can the interior layout truly be "customized"?
Can the requirement of three bedrooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom be reasonably implemented, rather than simply being a patchwork assembly?
UVO's Solutions | Customization from Structure to Details
Addressing clients' core concerns, UVO offers systematic and practical solutions:
A Space Design Truly Suitable for Long-Term Living
The 40ft double-wing expandable structure, once unfolded, creates a spacious and airy interior. Layout optimization is implemented during the design phase, ensuring a rational flow between the three bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, avoiding the cramped feeling of traditional container houses.
Reinforced Structure and Exterior Wall Configuration
The exterior walls utilize 2mm thicker color steel plates, offering greater impact resistance and weather resistance compared to standard configurations, adapting to California's high temperatures and strong sunlight, effectively extending its lifespan.
Factory Prefabrication + Rapid On-Site Deployment
After the house arrives in the United States, only hoisting and deployment are required to complete the main installation, significantly reducing on-site construction difficulty and time costs.
Highly Customizable Internal Systems
From the number of rooms and door/window locations to interior walls, lighting, and power outlets, UVO customizes the design according to the client's lifestyle, ensuring "not a show home, but a real home."
Ultimately, the 40ft expandable home was successfully delivered to California, USA, and completed its deployment and delivery. UVO will continue to provide high-standard, customizable, and sustainable modular living solutions to customers worldwide.
