Build it Better, Faster, and Less Expensive

Durable and Comfortable with MOD Container

The ADU
Mod Container’s ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) offers strength – the sturdiness of a steel container – that integrates with the outdoor space via its 12’-wide accordion doors. It’s modular with a flexible interior design.

The ADU is a perfect structure for a guest house, pool house, office, or modern tiny home. (Its 8’x40’ floor plan is supplemented by generous 9’5” height; all of Mod Container’s designs are based on the new “high cube” containers.) It’s a fire-resistant certified steel container that has the option to be welded onto a permanent foundation.

The 320 square feet are customizable, with plenty of room for a kitchen, dining area, living room, bathroom with shower, and separate bedroom. The front door can open to a custom-sized deck.

Luxury, Just Smaller
Mod Container is changing the way homeowners and developers think about living spaces. The modular ADU is not just a structure, it’s an idea: the idea that the best features of a great home can be achieved regardless of the home’s size. Character, customizability, sturdiness, and new technology may be parts of a structure that starts with a steel shape and becomes a dynamic living space.
