The Ridgeline 40

A precision-welded 40-foot high-cube container transformed into a 480 sq ft studio with 9'6" interior clearance. Every millimeter accounted for — spray-foam insulated, HVAC-integrated, and code-stamped before it leaves the yard.

The Mesa Dual

Two 40-foot containers welded side-by-side create 960 sq ft of open-plan living. The structural weld joint becomes the architectural spine — visible, deliberate, load-bearing. Two bedrooms, full kitchen, zero compromises on ceiling height.
