our building overview
Ark House simplifies the construction process by providing innovative flatpack and expandable modules. Engineered for efficient transport and rapid on-site assembly, our modules can be used as standalone structures or seamlessly combined to create complete homes, offices, cabins, and large-scale accommodation buildings.
WHY CONTAINER HOMES

THE CHDD DIFFERENCE
We build wider than standard modular homes with integrated roof and box gutter systems. The result is more usable internal space, better weather performance and the ability to harvest rainwater into storage tanks — without joining modules on site.

Purpose-built single 12 metre homes with fall-on roof and box gutter, finished to a residential standard.
12 METRE • 3.5 METRE WIDE • 2 BEDROOM
Our widest villa layout — extra internal width without joining modules on site. Flame Zone compliant options available.
TRANSPORTABLE • 1 BEDROOM
Road-ready tiny homes for rural blocks, farm stays and tourism operators who need accommodation quickly.
COMPACT • SMART-FITTED
Compact smart homes with integrated services, ideal for granny flats, secondary dwellings and rental income.
