Our designs for container homes in NSW
Mr Cabins offers two core formats to suit a wide range of property types and living goals: expandable and modular. Both are available in 20ft, 30ft and 40ft sizes and can be fully tailored in terms of layout, finishes and features.
Expandable container homes
Delivered compact and expanded on-site, our expandable container homes in NSW offer a fast and low-impact way to create a fully equipped living space. With pitched roofing, large glass doors, high-performance insulation and luxury inclusions, these homes work especially well for secondary dwellings, weekender projects or tight-access sites where space is limited.
Modular container homes
Our modular container homes in NSW are built for long-term living and fully customisable from the ground up. With generous interior space, these homes are ideal for residential blocks, rural properties or boutique developments. Choose your layout, materials and finishes — we’ll help you create a home that feels permanent, polished and personal.
