I like your comments foxthorne and am willing to modify the design. It may not all come to fruition but I am willing to volunteer some of my time to further the concept. are you suggesting the use of a container modified to accommodate the Cai House concepts or simply building a steel frame for the main structural elements?Either way could be achieved.

@CaiHouse Build a galvanized steel or aluminum main frame structure system rather than wood. RVs use light weight durable materials for their walls, it should be done on the Cai House too. For better handling the fold up side floors, side walls and the roofs they should have hydraulic cylinders. The other four walls on the lower level should also fold or swing in and out. The triangular side walls on the second level should also fold up and collapse in the center structure. It needs a skirt too

I LOVE IT !!!
But there is to much parts. The folding sections are great. You should adopt some of the "Expandable container Shelters" concept but keep this design. A galvanized steel frame would be better for a lesser weight. There should be no drilling and no hammering required to setup. I really love the two story design, way better than does other non foldable less roomy tiny houses. I would buy a Cai House if it had my ideas included. Til then I'll be hoping...

Love the concept. Waterproofing? Insulation?

@JennaMcNu The trickiest waterproofing was around the pop-up dormers but i was able to counter flash it and get it water tight. There is more information on caihouse.blogspot.com regarding the insulation. I am still working on the cabin and have the side roofs insulated and all the wall panels.

I have only built one for myself and I wanted a certain look and feel that wood offers. I am still working on it and will post more photos on the caihouse.blogspot.com

Would have liked to have seen an interior layout. Looks interesting, though.

I'd like to see an actual house instead of the concept.

for the side fold outs the filler walls could fold inside the house. something like this would be neat if it was a one story house on wheels that folded up witht he roof so you could have a loft.

The side foldouts are neat. A few too many add-on panels over the whole thing for my preference, though. If the whole thing could fold up without having to remove any parts, that'd be significantly more interesting.

How are the panels sealed in and are they removable afterwards?

@tuvoca They are connected by lag bolts and 90 degree unistrut clips, all removable. The panels have sill seal between them to prevent infiltration.
The dormers are more involved, but they can be sealed using 3" aluminum angle on the sides and a skirt flashing on the front. It is kind of a kit and I have only built one.
