(03b) Container Range
Beyond residential — folding site villages, flat-pack industrial camps, expandable homes and heavy-duty modular structures. One factory. One standard.
Multi-story worker villages and site offices. Panelised walls fold from a single shipping unit — deployed in days, not months.
Compact, stackable shells for oil, gas and remote industrial camps. Six units per truck, assembled on site by a two-person crew.
Arrives closed, opens to triple the footprint. Kitchens, bathrooms and glazing pre-installed at the factory for turn-key occupancy.
Corten shells cut, insulated and re-clad to spec. Ideal for storage, workshop, coffee bar or marketing pop-up conversions.
Reinforced frames engineered for hurricane, seismic and industrial loads. Certified for permanent commercial installations.
Two-storey terraces, dormitories and staff housing. Steel stair towers, balconies and MEP risers pre-fitted before shipping.
(02b) The 20ft Studio
Compact enough for a driveway, complete enough to trade from. The Design 20 is our most versatile chassis — sold as a road vendor, backyard office, or short-stay cabin.
01 · Road VendorFold-down oak counters, integrated lighting and utilities — a turn-key storefront that arrives on a flatbed and opens for business the same day.
02 · Backyard OfficeA quiet, insulated pod for focused work. Sliding glazing to a garden, high-speed data, and space for two desks — dropped in behind any home.
03 · Short-StayA rentable retreat with kitchenette, bath and sleeping loft. Photographs beautifully, books consistently, and pays back its build in seasons.

The Design 20 became my first coffee bar. Two years later I own three. Grateful for the craft — and for the courage it gave me.
