Jul 27, 2023We made an incredible expandable tiny house that can TRIPLE in size in just ten minutes
THIS is the expandable tiny house that can triple in size within just ten minutes.
The "Expandable Container House" can be folded out from a portable cabin-styled unit into a two-bedroom home.
Created by China-based Moneybox Modular Housing, a video has revealed how the expansion process takes just a matter of minutes.
Initially just a single oblong-shaped container with a front door, the house folds out from the sides to form an additional two equally-sized rooms.
When expanded, the second room contains four windows, along with a shower room and mirrors.
On the other side of the main compartment, a third room can be opened out to create additional space.
The rooms are then simply bolted and hooked together, with the total assembly time taking just ten minutes.
Furniture can be added to the rooms to suit, with the video showing a dining room table and chairs in one of the rooms.
The house uses a light steel structure, making it easier to move around and assemble.
The portable home has been designed to be eco-friendly, with the firm specialising in portable buildings.
In the video, five people can be seen assembling the home.
Footage from the interior of the house shows wooden-styled flooring, with one of the rooms divided into two halves to allow for separate bed spaces.
