Space Capsule House Series: M, S, V, A, R & E Explained
If you are shopping for a space capsule house, the alphabet soup of series — M, S, V, A, R, E — can feel like a code. It is not: each series is a family of models with a clear role, from a compact 13 m² one-bedroom pod to a 58 m² residence. This guide decodes every series, shows how they differ in layout and shipping, and lists the manufacturer's market price and reseller price for each, so you can compare like for like.
How to Read the Six Series
The six series divide into three roles:
A and M — compact, container-friendly units for one bedroom and one bathroom.
E — the widest range, from 15.6 m² up to the 58 m² flagship residence.
S, V and R — large 28-38 m² capsules with living rooms, two-bedroom options and, on select models, a balcony.
Series also determines how the unit travels: compact models ship inside a standard 40-foot high-cube container (40HQ), while wide flagship models ship on a flat rack (40FR) — which matters for delivery planning and on-site lifting.
Compact Series: A and M (13-30.6 m²)
The A series is the entry point. The A205 measures 5.8 × 2.25 × 2.5 m (13 m²) and carries a complete one-bedroom, one-bathroom layout; the A212 stretches the same concept to 26 m² (11.5 × 2.25 m). The M series is a step up in width: the M206 (15.6 m²) keeps the one-bedroom, one-bathroom layout, and the M212 reaches 30.6 m².
Both series ship containerized (40HQ), which keeps international freight simple and protects the unit in transit. They are the natural fit for a backyard guest room, a boutique glamping cabin or a single-unit retreat: full privacy, a real bathroom, and a footprint that most standard containers can carry.
The E Series: One Range, 15.6 to 58 m²
The E series is the most complete line, covering nearly every size in the catalog:
E206: 15.6 m² (6.1 × 2.55 m) — compact containerized unit
E305: 18.5 m² (5.6 × 3.3 m) and E308: 28 m² (8.5 × 3.3 m)
E212: 30.6 m² (12.0 × 2.55 m) — containerized
E310: 33 m² (10.0 × 3.3 m) — one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom
E312: 38 m² (11.5 × 3.3 m) — flat rack
E412: 58 m² (12.0 × 4.85 m) — the flagship, multi-room residence
Because it spans from containerized compacts to a flat-rack residence, the E series is the line to start from if your use case is not yet fixed: whatever the project size, there is an E model to match.
Flagship Series: S, V and R (28-38 m²)
The large series are where capsule houses become real homes:
S312: 38 m² (11.5 × 3.3 m) — one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, plus a balcony. The view-first model, built around the glazed front.
V309: 31 m² (9.5 × 3.3 m) — available with a balcony; V312: 38 m² — two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom. The family option.
R308: 28 m² and R312: 38 m² (11.5 × 3.3 m) — one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, with a balcony on the R312. The resort-oriented line.
All flagship models ship on a flat rack (40FR) — the unit travels fully assembled or near-assembled, so plan for crane or lifting equipment on site.

Importing into Europe or North America also involves product compliance. For the official EU requirements on CE marking and declarations of performance for construction products, the European Commission publishes the official guidance on CE marking.
How to Choose Your Series
Match the series to the job, not the other way around:
Backyard guest room or single retreat: A205 or M206 (13-15.6 m², 1 bed + bath, container shipping).
Boutique glamping cabin: E206, or an E310 if you want a separate living room.
View-first glamping or resort suites: S312 or R312 (38 m² with balcony).
Family stays or two separate bedrooms: V312 (2 beds, 1 living, 1 bath).
Long-term or large residence: E412 (58 m², multi-room).
Plan for delivery: 40HQ models fit a standard container; 40FR flagship models need lifting equipment at the site.
