Shared checks

What the model comparison cannot decide.

Product fit is only one part of the decision. These items remain specific to the property, supplier scope and intended use.

  1. 01The intended use, including whether the space is proposed for work, guests or accommodation.
  2. 02Privacy, solar orientation and heat-load implications of the selected glazed elevation.
  3. 03Delivery access, lifting or placement requirements and the prepared support system.
  4. 04Water, waste, electrical and hot-water connection scope.
  5. 05Current supplier inclusions, certification evidence, freight and written final pricing.

Common questions

Before choosing between the two.

Can I change the layout or use of either pod?Open

Yes. Both The Halo 20 and The Vista 20 support full customisation of layout, finishes and fit-out around your intended use. The drawings and website options are starting references, not the full design scope. Custom design, feasibility and pricing are assessed individually, including site, services and approval requirements.

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 published product layouts show a private bathroom and compact kitchenette direction for both. Matching supplier plans, exact fixtures, appliances, service provisions and inclusions still need written confirmation.

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.
