China Expandable container house ---10 minutes one house! 

These would be great for emergency situations, especially hurricane victims. You could have a bunch already loaded on a ship and just deploy the ship to the location, offload and set up. In a couple of days you have an emergency camp set up that's way more sanitary than tents.. Once the people can get back in their homes, you clean these up, fold and load them up, ready for another emergency. These are quite genius, "made in China" or not. Someone needs to help fund these for the red cross.

It does give you an immediate shelter. You could retro fit the rest. Gets you out of the elements. If you have no home this place is a mansion. 👍

I love it. What a superb idea. This type of unit can house millions all over the world and is also excellent housing for disasters. Now the original inventor is truly deserving of a NOBEL PRIZE👍👌🤞😍😊

"today" a house like this would be my dream and that of thousands of poor people around the world, what a shame that only the rich or middle class can buy this beautiful house, congratulations to the engineers and builders always making dreams come true

This is the answer for so many millions around the world. Thank you for showing.

In the military, these are called ISO 1C 20. They are expandable workshops. Cost is roughly 10 - 15k

I literally need this as an upgrade to what im living in right now.

Superb. Prefabricated homes at REAL affordable prices is the absolute way to go 😊

This would be awesome for remote locations. And the applications possibilities are endless

This is brilliant! My Son has spoken of relocating buying containers converting into home.

This is obviously what is needed on the ground after disasters where large amounts of people need shelter immediately. Operating theatres, mobile hospitals etc. Perfect to solve short term problems, while long term solution is worked on.

I WAS STUNNED HOW SMART THIS IS

What a great idea! Especially for people paying high rent/mortgage, or homeless!

I can totally live in this for life. Love it.

As a summer house looks great. And you can fold it back up before winter sets in to withstand tons of snow on the roof. If, of course, you find enough manpower.

Brilliant. Could solve the housing crises, most people can't afford bricks and mortar anymore.

Восхитительная тема! Сколько нуждающихся людей можно было бы расселить. Конечно, это не элитное жилье, но для людей оказавшихся в сложной жизненной ситуации, это второй шанс и надежда на будущее.

This this is genius These can be used as emergency shelters easily transported And can be set up in just a couple of hours

That was so cool. I just would want to make sure that those locks were really secure and that you are protected from lighting in rainy weather.. I love the idea:)

Caramba que maravilla .Sería perfecto para todo aquel humano que necesite un techo .Ojalá que que se pueda solucionar el problema de la vivienda mundialmente con esta belleza

Nice innovative design. Depending on affordability and durability, these could be a quick fix for acute housing shortages all over the world.

Great idea!! Need kind hearted philanthropists to do this for our homeless brothers and sisters globally. x

Love the idea. With so many homeless families this would be great if we could house people in general. Thanks for sharing.

Smart design! If it's affordable and able to be expanded on it's great

This is the most genius house I have ever seen designed it meets all of your acquired essential needs your s and takes up very little space and can be easily transported. genius

What is more important are the invisible elements: plumbing, electrical, insulation, foundation etc. At least they can make a solar roof on top. it would be cool if all the sewer/water tank, pump, drainage, ac (heat and cool), battery, solar panels all came out of that container with ready hookup. The roof top area for 40ft container with this design is enough for 10-30kw solar panels, which is more than enough for a one bedroom living.

Needs a shore power hookup, solar panels for self sustainability, and centralized simple plumbing for add-on waste, shower and water tanks. Add these features and it's golden

Places in the world could use a few million of these right now...well thought out and well planned, I hope they sell a million of them.

WOW! That is very cool and amazing expandable container house. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Well done dear. Stay safe, healthy and blessed.

i'd say this is the answer to the problem of housing the worlds homeless but then i keep forgetting there's no lack of houses... in the way there's no lack of food we can give for the hungry...what's lacking is our desire to spread the wealth around. But a great way to recycle shipping containers, and hopefully this will get to be used for those most in need. I've seen some of those "Tiny Home" shows and some of them are phenomenally expensive when you do a comparison of "dollar to square ft" value. When a "tiny home" is a luxury item you know something went wrong along the way.

Takes 10mins but I dont have 5 friends to help me 😒

Very creative and practical! A true winner in innovation! Africa is calling. Real shirt sleeves solution to housing in third world countries.

Excellent idea, ideal for homeless people , a holiday home or for someone who wants to live off grid .👍

I built this same structure for about 3 yrs in Texas about 10 yrs ago, the mechanics were the same but we had a different locking system and it only took us about 3 min to set up…our aluminum extrusions had epoxy thermal breaks in them and each building consisted of roughly 56 extrusions…I was the guy that cut all the aluminum and we used SIPs for the walls…built about 3 different models ranging from 230ft sq-430ft sq…and yes, everyone of them leaked in the rain due to the hinge design and other gaps in the connection of the walls and such…still was a pretty cool idea though, just needed much more r&d to be successful

Just add solar panels and battery back-up, you have a off the grid house which is self Sufficient.

Solutions! Yes! Keep developing ways to make houses more affordable. Thanks

I don't see any plumbing, electrical outlets, etc. It's only the frame of a house. Are you going to put in the plumbing through the finished flooring and walls? Interesting concept, but I also have doubts about the strength of the structure.

This fast set up house would be great to live in and avoid rediculous property taxes. Just fold it up when not in use and tell the tax man it's a storage container.

Wow innovation, I love it. This would serve a lot of People who need homes.

Very creative and simple. Also extremely logical and useful. Should be able to mass produce these on a world wide scale very inexpensively. The building and zoning regulations in many places are the only thing that will be problem for many people. Hope to see these marketed everywhere soon.

Very clever. One potential issue might be a musty odor. I owned a camper that expanded and folded back up. It was roomy, nice, but there was a very bad musty, damp smell. No matter what we did when it was reopened after folded up could remove the odor.

Ooh nice! It takes 6 people to open a house that fits two. That's what neighbors are for. Love it.

Increíble felicitaciones. Los admiro sienpre porque tienen una inteligencia y creatividad privilegiada, Dios les dio esa Riqueza..que no tiene precio. Mis Respetos . Dios los. Guarde y proteja increíble. Lo que hacen. Felicitaciones. .

Great idea for emergency situation, but those latches need to be upgraded. A breeze might knock those walls down.

Beautiful house. Wonderful crafting .Thanks .

Some years back the mid to late 70's there was an outfit named Magnolia that had an expandable trailer home on this principle. When closed it was towable day or night much like an 18 wheeler trailer but when open it expanded to a small but comfortable (I believe) 3 bedroom home. It came fully furnished with all the appliances (well you know about the quality of such furniture). When all was said and done however as long as you weren't putting in in a tornado or Hurricanie area it would have made a decent starter home for a new small family.

The mobile home looks cool but you still need to plug it to the electric,water,sewer,gas,and phone grid. Its not "plug and play" people.

Cool! This would be ideal for off-grid living. 🏡

China: nice expendable house USA: great shed, i want one

Génial! Pour la configuration c'est ok! Faut renforcer les structures, ca m'a l'air tout de même fragile 😁

Очень удобные дома для проживания в летние месяцы. Даже в холодных регионах. А осенью их сложить и убирать до следующей весны. Для России только понадобятся земельные участки и вот такие складные домики. Будущее за ними. Мне очень понравилось, спасибо. 🤝🌹

This would be excellent for San Fransisco and a big help during the pandemic!!

They always show you these exciting things but never tell you the price lol.

Honestly I hate how property is so expensive leaving most of us unable to afford housing. If only all countries could mass develop these houses for everyone.

Excelente, creativa y práctica solución habitable para la humanidad. Muchas gracias por su generosidad Dios los bendice por siempre. Desde Venezuela.

If the sides that became the roof had built in solar panels that would be nice. Also, presumably One has to have utilities on site, electric, gas, water, sewage. How does One connect these up? What are the insulating materials and heat loss coefficients? Does it need a concrete base? It's all very well putting it up in a car park and filling it with furniture but no utilities are connected.

*WOW!!!* If governments got on board this could help alot with finding shelter for homeless people or those who also need temporary housing due to disasters from house fires, floods, etc. Even a temporary house is dry & off the ground & can be heated. Sure beats under the bridge!👍 Now let's see how many governments will embrace this fantastic idea in their own cities & territories!🤞🍀🤞🌈🇨🇦

Not only is an excellent idea, it is all a couple needs to live happily ever after...

Let me guess, it falls apart after 30 days.

When I think of instant hospital, I think of this. I see this as a manner of response to government response to a variety of needs. Even though it has been around a long time, I think the overall speed of set up and quality is improved compared to years ago. Watching setup is quite entertaining. It seems like sustainable housing. The problem is to get a lot with the appropriate licensing to permit set up of these. Would I expect one in a trailer park style zone, and were there one for these, would it be a uniform community setup? Cool idea.

That is amazing wonderful I would like to have something like that myself

The bamboo flooring was a nice touch 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

It's a good concept for affordable housing. I would want it to some unfinished on the inside so I could properly insulate it though. I don't like big glass windows and doors either but I know most other people do. Still plop one down, insulate it, make the bathroom bigger, and it could make a great starter home or simple home for retirement. Absolutely have to have it better insulated though.

Unbelievable.This is something out of box creativity at a time when technology advancement is cost effective and affordable in building a house

Only real homeless and people who know what if feels like to experience the trails and tribulations of the homelessness can appreciate this structure 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

The thief will take your whole house !

Excellent ideas 👍. Save space and less construction.

Ingenious. Would make great emergency housing after natural disasters....better than a FEMA trailer.

Thus us great for Homless across the US, large cities and California

If they made this in the uk. They would be the price of a real house

In our cost of living crisis I'd love to set up a rental business using these at affordable rental cost.

If you are not inspired, then you should be motivated. I love to own this someday, so I will be working hard towards that dream and keep investing.

No mention of the costs for this. Fixing it up will definitely be a factor in the price also. But possibly a good way to add a instant home to your property. And build as you can. 👍

This could be the luxury Fema camp house coming to a neighborhood in your area...hold on America the storm has arrived!

I bardzo fajne pomieszczonko i śliczny pokoik z z czegoś takiego przepiękny jest ten cały pomysł pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice! Problem for me is the snow load rating... Great design for warmer climates!

Expandable container homes are expensive. Thought the price steep as the idea was to make hmes affordable. This one should not exceed $35,000! Great idea and could be shipped via railroad or truck. After seeing the price though it became unobtainable.

Cool Design! Add Solar panels on top and it's becomes sustainable, modular home! Also composting loo would be a good idea for this home!

Im just finding this Chinese tiny home just now and just love it. Easy to assemble. This is a tiny home masterpiece. What's the cost??? It's wonderful 👍

Oh yeah this is exactly what we want. Container homes where we can live when even a 40 hours week can‘t pay our bills in the current society. Don‘t kid yourself. This is for emergency situations right up untill the moment it‘s not. Like „Oh come on, people have been living in them for decades and even though it was because of an emergency situation.. they have adapted to it quite well. You might say they enjoy living like this! So why not permanently?!!“

I like the whole idea, my concern is the structural integrity as well as the ability for the joints and all seams to be weather tight as well as keep the insects out. Thanks for the video.

I'll bet it's not leak-proof. One heavy side-ways rainstorm....and dripping inside like crazy

Ok. A twenty foot shipping container's inside floor dimensions are 7.7ft X 19.4ft or almost 150 sq ft. which isn't anything to speak of. However, multiply that by 3 and you have 450 sq ft, or 50 sq ft smaller than my college studio flat. It was livable so as long as I didn't own things, like bicycles, large fridges, W/D, etc... My bedroom was my living room and I had decent kitchen storage and one really long clothes closet that was half filled with my GF's stuff until I dumped her for a minimalist that would only use her phone for necessary things. And when she left my apartment was always cleaner than when she came over. I married her. Back to the container. Now, if it was a high cube, you could insulate the ceiling much better and have an AC/Heater vents up there. You could even taper the roof a little for better rain sheeting, which is so much better. My colleague has an acre a few miles from a lake in a heavy pine area at 4000ft elevation with zero zoning laws. Meaning he can do whatever he wants on his property. All he had to do was to palm a crooked city official to get it on paper and have it sanctioned by the state, which cost him more money. Now since his dad owns a shipping container storage yard, my colleague found 20 containers over the past decade that were written off as a loss. So my buddy would get them for free. Next, he would spend company time and use company materials to convert them into truly nice insulated office, which is how he explained them to anyone who would ask. Then slowly but surely, he would have a few shipped over night up to his mountain clearing that he had put asphalt to and had the containers set into place. He then got some fencing material and went around his whole property and stacked razor wire in front of it so no-one would even attempt scaling the fence. It looked like hell and it was hell for anyone. Plus the gate was automatic and coded into your cellphone and the codes were changed daily but the system recognized your cellphone number if you forgot. But each 40ft shipping container had solar power and he was planning on getting power walls but the cost was too high. Each were like a tiny 320 sq ft apartment with truly expensive appliances, that were all ran by sola panel a top each container. The containers were situated so that in the hotter summer days, agricultural shade clothes covered all parking and walking areas. The first two containers were for building supplies and tools, and a cot for when he would stay for weeks on end. His wife didn't mind because it meant she could retire early. I visited him after he got his first two units going. He even had two water storage silos, one for supply water and the other for the Fire Dept as a gesture of good will, though they would never need it. During the growing season, he let some people grow veggies so as long as he got his cut. He would also have someone making snacks for his tenants. Then last year I heard he wasn't feeling well so I went up to visit him. He was getting over pneumonia he caught at the hospital after getting his physical. It was late spring and all 28 containers, not counting his 3, were occupied, and bookings were solid. He was even shaken down for a piece of the action by some local biker gang. But since his dad had some military ties, those goons suddenly went missing and not a single person, including law enforcement cared. And with them gone, business began to boom. Rent per room was $200 per night and $300 during skiing season or the Opening of fishing season. So here my friend was at 35 with absolutely no debt whatsoever and and bringing in 2.5M a year. I think he would retire right?

One thing I see to be improved is the corner locking system

Swedish: DIY Furniture. Chinese: DIY House.

If this can withstand fairly strong wind and heavy rain, this would be perfect for tropical climate. Although the material need to be mostly waterproof either.

This would be amazing for emergency housing

They need hydraulic struts and automatic remote control. So it can be a two person or one person job instead of 10.

Now that was pretty cool, instant housing you fold out from a container. We could call this House in a can!

If I was going to get one, I would build a big carport-like structure above it to protect it from the elements.

These would be a great contribution to solving the homeless problem across the world. Now if only selfish governments would spend money on people, instead of weapons of war.

Simple, cheap yet very useful. Anyone with little construction knowledge can build it easily

This sure makes it easy for the repo guy, he folds your house up and loads it up onto a flatbed.

Ingenious design, innovative and very practical in setting up mass housing need.

Mind blowing good job I am very impress by ur work

This technology has been around for over 30 years. The US army has this setup for field operations rooms in field hospitals.

That would be fantastic for emergency accommodation in humanitarian a crisis.

This would be great for the slums in Africa to help the people only if charity’s stopped taking all the money for them selfs we would be able to help these people that deserve it

*Yangınlarda, doğal felaketlerde evsiz kalan insanlar için muazzam bir ev olur bu, kısa sürede bir çok insan böylelikle evsizlikten kurtulmuş olur, güzel proje* 😊

Idea, material, implementation everything is high-tech 21st century , but inside locking mechanism is pre 19th century
