Choose The Halo 20 when
Compact capacity is enough.
- The rounded cabin expression and front-focused glazing suit the desired setting.
- A compact service end leaves the main room flexible for sleeping, sitting or work.
- The lower displayed product starting point is useful for initial scoping.
- The project needs a single-piece studio rather than an expandable home.
Choose The Vista 20 when
The brief needs more from the format.
- A long panoramic elevation can be oriented toward the strongest outlook.
- Daylight across the main room is a central design priority.
- The linear kitchenette and integrated storage direction better fit the brief.
- The project needs a single-piece studio rather than an expandable home.

Common questions
Before choosing between the two.
Are The Halo 20 and The Vista 20 expandable homes?Open
No. Both are single-piece 20ft portable studios and do not unfold on site. Their lawful use and approval pathway still depend on the property, intended use and applicable requirements.
Do both studios include a bathroom and kitchenette?Open
The current product references show a private bathroom and compact kitchenette direction for both. Exact fixtures, appliances, service provisions and inclusions must be checked against the current written supplier scope.
Is The Vista 20 better for views?Open
The Vista 20 is the more explicitly outlook-led option because its glazing extends along the main room. The result still depends on site orientation, privacy, shading and where the studio can be placed.
Can either studio be used as a permanent dwelling?Open
The product alone does not establish that use. Confirm planning, building, siting, servicing and any occupancy requirements for the specific property before relying on either studio for residential accommodation.
