About this home

Cove turns one 20 ft container into a fully finished room with a glass entry wall, a compact shower room and space for a desk, a daybed or a guest bed. It is our quickest build and the easiest to place in a backyard.

Cove is built for the room you keep wishing you had: a quiet office at the end of the garden, a guest suite that gives visitors their own front door, or a short-stay rental that earns its keep.

A full-height glass wall at one end fills the room with daylight, while white oak walls and a matching ceiling keep it warm. A compact shower room with a toilet and vanity sits behind a pocket door, and a ductless heat pump keeps the space comfortable in every season.

Good to know

  • Delivered on a single truck and set in under a day
  • Sits on six concrete piers, so there is no slab to pour
  • Can be fitted with a kitchenette at the design stage
Bright room with a built-in oak bench, a wall-mounted heat pump and a glass door to the garden
