M212 Space Capsule House: The 30.6 m² Long-Format Model, Explained
The M212 is the flagship of ROVELLC's M series — a 30.6 m² space capsule house built on a 12-metre footprint that ships in a standard 40-foot high-cube container (40HQ) as a semi-assembled unit. Where most capsule houses top out around 10-11 metres, the M212 uses its extra length to give you more usable floor plan per unit — while keeping standard-container shipping and a straightforward on-site assembly. If you need more space than a compact 13-15 m² pod but want to keep containerized delivery, the M212 is the model to study.

M206 vs M212: Choosing the Size
The M series shares the same width and height, so the choice comes down to length — and therefore space.
Table 2. M-series comparison
M206 | M212 | |
|---|---|---|
Area | 15.6 m² | 30.6 m² |
Dimensions | 6.1 × 2.55 × 2.89 m | 12.0 × 2.55 × 2.89 m |
Bathroom | Complete | Complete |
Shipping | 40HQ containerized | 40HQ containerized |
Market price (EXW) | $18,200 | $35,900 |
Reseller price (EXW) | $14,600 | $28,700 |
Choose the M206 when you need a compact, single-space cabin. Choose the M212 when you want the same containerized shipping but roughly twice the floor area — enough to divide into separate zones for sleeping, living and working.
What the 12-Metre Length Unlocks
A 30.6 m² interior on a 12 × 2.55 m plan changes what a capsule house can do:
Real zoning. The extra length lets the plan separate a sleeping area from a living/working zone, instead of folding everything into one open box.
A full bathroom without compromise. The M212 carries a complete bathroom — shower, toilet and vanity — with room left over, which is the first thing guests and inspectors ask about.
Long-stay comfort. More linear space means better furniture placement: a proper bed, a seating area, storage and a desk can coexist without feeling cramped.
Scale for one or two. While compact pods suit overnight stays, a 30.6 m² unit works for multi-day rentals, staff housing or a home office that actually functions.
Because every M212 floor plan is configured per project, you can push the same footprint toward a guest suite, a studio or a work-and-rest unit — confirm the plan with the factory before production.
Who Is the M212 Built For?
Glamping and resort operators who want a bigger cabin tier without moving up to flat-rack logistics.
Property owners adding a backyard guest unit or home office under local size limits.
Remote work / staff accommodation where two separated zones beat a single pod.
Buyers replacing 2-3 compact pods with one larger containerized unit to simplify delivery and setup.
Shipping, Assembly & the 40HQ Advantage
The M212 ships semi-assembled inside a standard 40HQ container — no flat rack, no wide-load permit, no oversized cargo at origin. That keeps freight predictable and protects the unit from port handling. On arrival, the unit is unpacked and the final assembly is completed on site — panels and modules are joined, and power and water connections are made. Most projects plan for a small crew and basic lifting equipment for positioning; your sales representative will confirm the assembly details and required tools for your unit. It is one of the most delivery-friendly large-format capsule houses.
M212 Pricing: Market vs Reseller
The M212's market price is $35,900**, with a **reseller price of $28,700 for dealers and volume partners. Both are ex-works (EXW) prices in USD — they cover the unit at the factory and exclude ocean freight, duties and local delivery. The price sheet is updated monthly and valid for one month from issue; treat these figures as an indicative benchmark and request a current quotation for your order.
FAQ
How many bedrooms does the M212 have?
The M212 is a single-level unit with a complete bathroom. Because the floor plan is configured per project, the same 30.6 m² footprint can be planned as a one-bedroom guest suite or a studio with a separate living zone — request the layout plan for your use case.
Does the M212 include a bathroom?
Yes. A complete bathroom (shower, toilet, vanity) is standard across the M series, including the M212.
Does the price include shipping?
No. The market and reseller prices are EXW (ex-works) in USD — the unit at the factory. Ocean freight, duties and local delivery are quoted separately based on your destination.
How is the M212 delivered?
It ships semi-assembled inside a standard 40-foot high-cube container (40HQ), which avoids flat-rack freight and oversized handling. On site, the final assembly is completed and power and water are connected — plan for a small crew and lifting equipment for positioning.
Can I customize the M212?
Yes — layout configuration is part of the standard process. Confirm the floor plan, exterior color and interior finish with the factory before production begins.
Final Verdict & CTA
The M212 answers a very specific question: how much space can I get while staying on standard-container shipping? The answer — 30.6 m² on a 12-metre footprint, complete bathroom, semi-assembled delivery and project-configured layout — makes it one of the most practical large-compact capsule houses for glamping, backyard and staff-housing projects.
