Internal room separation is possible via non structural internal walls.

Having Trouble with the Digital Book ?
If you are having trouble viewing the digital book format we use you can download the file as a regular PDF document here.
We recommend right clicking on the link and then saving the file to a folder on your computer. Save the document into a folder you will remember the name of and then open it when it’s fully downloaded rather than trying to view it in your browser.
In order to keep the file to a reasonable download size for customers we have compressed the images. If you would like a less compressed version more suitable for printing feel free to drop an email at admin@containerhome.info.
