Case Study: SXKON 20FT Movable Houses in Tourist Attractions

Author: SXKON Field Engineering Team

Use case: Temporary–to–semi-permanent guest stays, ticketing, retail kiosks, and staff housing at a U.S. tourist attraction.

Executive Summary

A coastal tourist attraction needed fast, clean, and code-aware lodging and service rooms before peak season. SXKON delivered twelve 20FT movable houses that went from order to revenue in 21 days. Results after the first 90 days:

92% average occupancy for guest cabins
+18% on-site spend due to added modular retail kiosks
Check-in time cut from 12 minutes to 4 minutes with a prefab ticket office
0 safety incidents; 99.2% uptime on utilities

Client Background

“Seaside Vista Park” (U.S. West Coast) welcomes families, hikers, and RV travelers. Summer demand outpaced the park’s legacy cabins. Permits allowed temporary structures with strict timelines and noise limits.

Pain points:

Not enough rooms; lost bookings
Limited trenching allowed for utilities
Tight install window between weekend crowds
Need for plug-and-play units that meet local requirements

SXKON 20FT Movable Houses

Why SXKON

Proven prefab quality control in factory
Rapid transport and set-up; minimal site disruption
Flexible layouts for glamping, retail, and staff needs
Clear documentation for inspectors (loads, materials, fire and electrical data)

The Solution

SXKON supplied twelve SXKON 20FT movable houses (external: ~20 ft × 8 ft; interior usable area ~160 sq ft each). The mix:

8 Guest Cabins (queen bed + bunk, compact bath, mini-split HVAC)
2 Retail Kiosks (serving window, POS counter, under-counter storage)
1 Ticket & Info Office (two desks, lockable file, ADA ramp)
1 Staff Unit (rest area, lockers, shower)

Key features (configured for this site):

Durable steel frame, anti-corrosion finish
Rock-wool insulation; low-E windows; energy-efficient LED
Pre-wired 120/240V panels; GFCI protection; shore-power ready
PEX plumbing; quick-connect freshwater and waste lines
Optional roof-ready solar hooks and cable pathways
Fire-rated internal wall panels (per chosen spec)
Optional ADA access ramp and 36" door (where required)

Deployment Timeline (21 Days)

Day 1–3: Site walk, drawings, and permit packet for the temporary use permit
Day 4–12: Factory fit-out; client video QA checks
Day 13–17: Delivery in four batches; forklift set in pre-marked pads
Day 18–19: Plug-and-play hookups to power/water; POS and Wi-Fi activation
Day 20: Inspector walk-through; punch list (minor sealant touch-ups)
Day 21: Soft opening

Noise and guest traffic ran as normal because craning and trenching were not required.

Results & ROI

Revenue uplift: Mixed fleet produced a 5.7-month payback at target ADR and kiosk sales
Guest satisfaction: 4.7/5 average rating for cabin comfort and cleanliness
Operations: Housekeeping cycle time 22 minutes per cabin (queen + bunk)
Sustainability: 14–22% HVAC runtime reduction vs. legacy cabins, driven by insulation and window spec
