Overview
This 40ft prefab house is built on a container footprint, with sandwich-panel walls that fold for transport and insulate once set up. The layout is compact but gives plenty of living space.
Possible uses include a main tiny home, a vacation retreat, a guest house, or a mobile office. Folding panels hold heat and sound and let the unit travel flat.

A steel frame carries insulated sandwich panels, and the interior is finished with modern fixtures. Folded for transport, the unit stands only 15 to 17in high, and each set weighs 1.3 ton.
