Project Overview
The client is a sports club based in Milan. At the end of last year the club decided to enter the tourism accommodation business, and spent more than half a year researching the market and comparing suppliers before choosing BST. For this first order they purchased a 10ft flat-roof expandable unit and a 30ft slope-roof expandable unit.
To upgrade the guest experience, each house was customized with an added ground terrace and a full-width roofed deck, giving guests an open-air space to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The houses are now on their way to Italy and will be used as premium stay accommodation for club members and visiting guests.
The Two Models: 30ft Two-Bedroom Suite and 10ft Studio
The 30ft slope-roof double-wing expandable container house offers two separate guest rooms with a central bathroom, connected by a light-filled corridor. With the double wings expanded, it provides a generous living area for a small family or two guests travelling together.
The 10ft flat-roof expandable container house is a compact studio with a private bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. Its dark-grey EPS composite panel walls match the larger unit, and the folding roof creates a bright, open interior once unfolded on site.
Factory Quality Inspection
Before packing, both houses passed a series of factory checks: the electrical system was powered on and every circuit, switch and socket was tested, the water supply and drainage system was pressure-tested, and sanitary fittings, doors and windows were inspected one by one to make sure everything works perfectly on arrival.
Packing and Loading
Thanks to the double-wing folding design, both expandable houses fold down to standard container sizes. Each unit was wrapped in protective film, packed with its hardware accessories in labeled cartons, and then crane-loaded into a 40ft high-cube container together with the terrace railings, roofing panels and installation parts.
Shipping Documents
The shipment moves under CIF terms from Xingang, China to Genoa, Italy on vessel ZIM XIAMEN 22W, with a total volume of 63.93 CBM in one 40ft container. Private customer information on the documents has been masked for privacy.
