Each house is equipped as follows:
- Space layout: Including two bedrooms, one bathroom and a spacious living room. The kitchen is set on one side of the living room for efficient space utilization.
- Exterior design: Fitted with a practical sloped roof to ensure good drainage during the tropical rainy season, and attached with a terrace for residents to enjoy the Caribbean sunshine and breeze.

Portable Expandable Homes from Concept to Completion
- Initial plan: The client originally intended to purchase one 40-foot and two 30-foot prefab expandable houses.
- Budget adjustment: After in-depth communication and considering the overall budget and loan amount, the client made a pragmatic adjustment. We recommended starting with the more economical 20-foot model.
- Plan finalization: After the client successfully obtained the loan, they paid the deposit promptly and locked in the custom production of two 20-foot expandable prefab houses.
- Production and delivery: After all interior decoration, water and electricity pipelines were integrated on the production line, the houses were loaded on the ship in a compact folded state and safely shipped to Guadeloupe by sea.


Client Review
“My husband and I had big initial ideas, but money is a reality. The solution provided by YG allowed us to get high-quality, fully functional housing with a limited budget. These two expandable prefab houses are extremely easy to transport and unfold at an amazing speed on site. Now they fully meet the living needs of our family, and the design of the sloped roof and terrace is also very suitable for the local climate,” the client commented after moving in.
Why Choose Foldable Shipping Container Home?
In markets like Guadeloupe, choosing such portable expandable homes offers multiple advantages:
- Excellent cost-effectiveness: Factory production reduces the total cost, and folded transportation greatly saves international shipping fees, which is the key to controlling the overall project budget.
- Adapt to complex terrain: The modular design makes it easy to install on island mountains or uneven plots, with low requirements for construction site conditions.
- Ultra-fast construction speed: The main structure of the house is completed in the factory, and on-site work is mainly about unfolding, docking and basic commissioning. The house can be ready for occupancy within a few days, greatly shortening the investment return cycle.
- Sustainability and sturdiness: It adopts a robust container structure and is well adapted to the tropical climate; prefabricated production also reduces construction waste on site.
